Body size and shape in 46,XY females with complete testicular feminization. 1984

J Varrela, and L Alvesalo, and H Vinkka

Twenty-five anthropometric measurements were recorded from eight adult 46,XY females with complete testicular feminization and they were compared with those of female relatives of the patients and control females. In most dimensions 46,XY females were larger than normal females, the difference being close to one SD unit. The mean height of 46,XY females was 171.5 cm. The body proportions of 46,XY females were similar to those of normal females though, according to the results of analysis of covariance where the effect of size was controlled, there may be a tendency to slimmer body. The present findings suggest the presence of genes on the Y chromosome with a general size-increasing effect. They also indicate that the Y chromosome has an influence on the quantitative sex difference in body size. These conclusions are in accordance with the results of earlier studies which have indicated Y-chromosomal influence on stature and tooth size.

D013734 Androgen-Insensitivity Syndrome A disorder of sexual development transmitted as an X-linked recessive trait. These patients have a karyotype of 46,XY with end-organ resistance to androgen due to mutations in the androgen receptor (RECEPTORS, ANDROGEN) gene. Severity of the defect in receptor quantity or quality correlates with their phenotypes. In these genetic males, the phenotypic spectrum ranges from those with normal female external genitalia, through those with genital ambiguity as in Reifenstein Syndrome, to that of a normal male with INFERTILITY.
