There's more to it than having a Y chromosome... or even an SrY complex somewhere.

  1. HI Zoe, What about the OMIM numbers for SOX9 and DAX1 which also cause XY sex reversal with gonadal dysgenesis?

  2. Good point. The science here is advancing so quickly though, I can't blame them for the omission. I'm just keeping it as a reference, because although many people know about SrY, few know the others. And I can never remember the names.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
