Abstract
Recent developments in experimental embryology, discovery of the sex chromatin, and improved methods of study in the field of cytogenetics have led to advances in the determination of genetic sex in man. These studies also offer new avenues of clinical applications in cases involving human intersexual conditions.
While information already available has exciting implications, the authors caution that continuing progress in this field will undoubtedly lead to modifications in interpretations and in significance of some of the current findings.
