Prenatal diagnosis, sonographic findings and molecular genetic analysis of a 46,XX/46,XY true hermaphrodite chimera
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To present the prenatal diagnosis, sonographic findings and, molecular genetic analysis of a 46,XX/46,XY true hermaphrodite chimera and to review the literature. CLINICAL SUBJECT AND METHODS: Amniocentesis was performed at 22 weeks' gestation because of sonographic diagnosis of ambiguous genitalia. Initial amniocentesis, repeat amniocentesis, and cordocentesis revealed a mixture of 46,XX cells and 46,XY cells. Polymorphic DNA marker analysis using the fetal and parental blood was applied to investigate the genetic origin of the chimera. A 3,625-g baby was delivered at 37 weeks' gestation with clitoromegaly, prominent labia majora, fusion of the labia, and an orifice of the urogenital sinus. A lymphangioma was noted over the right arm and was excised at age 3 days. Extraembryonic tissues and the infant's skin were cytogenetically and molecularly studied. RESULTS: Initial amniocentesis, repeat amniocentesis, and cordocentesis revealed the karyotype of 46,XX[12]/46,XY[9], 46,XX[15]/46,XY[12], and 46,XX[27]/46,XY[15], respectively. The cytogenetic results of the extraembryonic tissues and skin were consistent with prenatal diagnosis. Informative sex chromosome and pericentromeric autosome markers demonstrated double paternal and single maternal genetic contributions. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of ambiguous genitalia should alert true hermaphroditism and prompt thorough genetic investigations. DNA marker analysis is helpful in delineation of true fetal chimerism as well as determination of its genetic origin in prenatally detected 46,XX/46,XY chromosome complement.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
