One on Sex, one on Gender to start with.

"The role of sexual related Y gene detection in the diagnosis of patients with gonadal dysgenesis" by Yu et al, Chinese Medical Journal, 2001, Vol. 114 No. 2 : 128-131

"Discordant Sexual Identity in Some Genetic Males with Cloacal Exstrophy Assigned to Female Sex at Birth" by Reiner and Gearhart, N Engl J Med. 2004 January 22; 350(4): 333–341.

One more thing:
A true hermaphrodite (case 4) had testicular tissue without the Y chromosome or the SRY gene.
Just to complicate matters.

My thanks once more to Professor Italiano for bringing these to my attention.

One on Sex, one on Gender to start with.

The role of sexual related Y gene detection in the diagnosis of patients with gonadal dysgenesis by Yu et al, Chinese Medical Journal, 2001, Vol. 114 No. 2 : 128-131

Sixteen cases of gonadal dysgenesis were included in this study: 5 with androgen insensitivity syndrome, 1 with 17-α-hydroxylase deficiency, 4 with true hermaphrodite, 2 with 45,X/46,XY gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with 45,X gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, 1 with testicular regression, and 1 XY female who gave birth to a normal baby.
