A number of different genetic variations can result in differences in sex differentiation, such that there are biological females who are genetically 46, XY and biological males who are 46, Xx. One example of this is 46, xx SRY-negative males. These individuals do not have an SRY gene in their genome, but often have mutations or other conditions such that they cannot respond to estrogen where testosterone is produced at high levels even without SRY, or other signals are altered...

AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), caused by the HIV virus is very common in Zaire. The virus infects T cells of individuals by binding to a protein on the surface of T cells, named CCR5. Scientists observed that some people in Zaire never developed AIDS, even when they were exposed to the virus. They thought this could be due to the fact that CCR5 gene has two alleles in the Zairean population (CCR5-S (S); sensitive to AIDS; and CCR-R (R): resistant...
