Take your baby daddy: ; his genetic test results to your OB to see if you need prenatal genetic counseling ;/or genetic testing. A person with xx who appears male because the sry (male) gene is accidentally moved to an x chromosome is infertile. Men with an extra y chromosome have tall stature and learning disabilities. The y chromosome can repair itself if a small bit of genetic material is damaged. But. Reversed?
