Psychiatric examination has been made in all eight adult males with teh karyotype 46, Xx diagnosed in Denmark till 1976. Apart from emotional immaturity inmost probands, no psychopathological traits were found, except in one who had neurotic symptoms. They were all of normal intelligence and socially well adjusted. All had male psychosexual orientation, but weak sexual libido and potency were found in the oldest probabds. In severakl respects males with 46, XX differ from Klinefleter males with the karyotype 47, XXY, and the reasons for this are discussed.
