Can We Talk About Sex? Mindy B. Statter Abstract: A three–year–old female undergoes elective inguinal hernia repair and unexpectedly is found to have testes in the hernia sacs. A recommendation is made not to disclose the patient’s genotype to her mother. This case study addresses the ethical conflict of whether to disclose the patient’s male genotype to the parent that has been raising the child as female. B. Now that disclosure of a CAIS diagnosis is mandatory, what responsibility would a parent potentially have to override a doctor’s recommendations for gender maintenance?

Hemophilia is an x-linked disease in which the blood does not clot normally; it is sometimes called "bleeder's disease." Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele (h). The dominant allele (H) produces blood that clots normally. What is genotype of a man who is a hemophiliac? What is the genotype of a man with normal blood clotting? What is the genotype of a woman with normal clotting blood if her father was a hemophiliac? If a man with normal clotting blood and a heterozygous woman have children together, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of the children? 13. A dominant x-linked allele (B) gives normal color vision but the recessive allele (b) causes red-green color blindness. What is the genotype of a man with normal color vision whose father was color- blind?

II. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwise. -7. A temale parent possessing an X-linked dominant mutation is considered a carrier and will not manifest clinical symptoms of the disorder. _8. Y-linked traits are passed from the father to son, without the occurrence of genetic recombination. 9. Somatic mosaicism results to abnormalities based on the amount and distribution of normal cells while gonadal mosaicism affects the germline tissues leading to a new dominant mutation. 10. A test cross is done to determine which allele is dominant and which is recessive.

Using the symptoms presented, research online to determine the nature of the disorder, its mechanism (what causes the disorder) and also any complications and treatment options that may exist. A 24-year old patient presents with the following symptoms: Presents as normal external male Close examination reveals small testes Gynecomastia (development of breasts) Genetic karyotyping revealed XX Further genetic testing determines the patient is SRY-positive Smaller than average in height and weight Diagnosis: Mechanism: Possible Complications and Recommendations:
