Overview

XX male syndrome (also called de la Chapelle syndrome, for a researcher who characterized it in 1972[1]) is a rare sex chromosomal disorder. Usually it is caused by unequal crossing over between X and Y chromosomes during meiosis.

It is less common than Klinefelter syndrome.[2]

Presentation

Symptoms include small testes, gynecomastia and sterility. Many individuals with this condition also have effeminate characteristics.

Pathophysiology

Men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each diploid cell of their bodies. Women typically have two X chromosomes.

So-called XX males have two X chromosomes; thus they are genetically female but otherwise appear to be male.
