When an ovotestis is present, one third of the patients exhibit bilateral ovotestes. A testicle, when present, is more likely to exist on the right (57.4%), and an ovary, when present, is more common on the left (62%). [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] since no / minimal anti-Müllerian hormone is produced Usually bilateral fallopian tubes are present, occasionally vas deferens Females may exhibit clitoromegaly; no breast development except with tumors Phenotypic males may have short stature, 90 degree [pathologyoutlines.com]
Clinical Presentations Clinical presentation can be variable and subtle especially for girls with the mosaic form of Turner syndrome. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]
