mal karyotype and only 5 cases showed chromosomal aberration.
2. The 5 cases with chromosomal abnormality were numerical aberration
consisted of simple aneuploidy in 4 cases and mosaicism of 2 cell lines in
1 case.
Out of the 12 cases with clinical diagnosis of hermaphroditism, only 1 case with true hermaphroditism had a chromosomal mosaicism, 46, XY/XX and remaining 11 cases had normal karyotype.
4. Out of the 5 cases with clinical diagnosis of Klinefelter´s syndrome, 3 cases had classic 47, XXY and 2 cases had normal karyotype-
