FORENSIC STUDY OF SEXUAL CONDITION: HE OR SHE?

The article presents an extremely rare case of forensic sexuality with Swyer syndrome in which a chromosomal abnormality in the form of a mutation in the SRY gene can lead to the formation of a female organism with the XY genotype (Swyer syndrome or gonadal dysgenesis). The body of a person with Swyer's syndrome has a chromosome set characteristic of a male body, but it has female genitalia, a female reproductive system, but the sex glands do not produce hormones. During puberty, the development of secondary sexual characteristics does not occur and amenorrhea is observed. Sexual identity was established on the basis of karyotyping, ultrasound (presence of prostate) and anthroposcopic data.
