The translocation of SRY onto one of the two X chromosomes results in a 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development; this is supposedly because of non‐allelic homologous recombination between the protein kinase X gene (PRKX) and the inverted protein kinase Y pseudogene (PRKY). Although 46,XX SRY‐positive men are infertile, the literature data indicate that some of these individuals are of short stature (relative to the general population). We sought to determine whether short stature was linked to additional, more complex chromosomal rearrangements.
