J Reprod Fertil. 1981 Mar;61(2):395-7. doi: 10.1530/jrf.0.0610395.

Abstract

A boar with testicular hypoplasia had 39 chromosomes. Giemsa banded preparations permitted unambiguous identification of an XXY sex chromosome constitution. Spermatogenic tissue was absent as in X chromatin-positive Klinefelter syndrome of man.
