Scientists Cause Mixud of Sexes March of Dimes-supported scientists have found that if they dip an egg into the right kind of hormone solu-1 * tion, they can change the sex of the unhatched chick i from what it started out to be. This, of course, is of concern to a chick which is sup posed to be a rooster and hatches out with most of the: t features of a hen, or vice versa. 1 The research also is of direct" concern to people, because the scientists believe they are on the track of what may cause some human beings to De born with mixed-up sex character istics. A few cases of sex changes in people have become world famous. But according to Dr. Virginia Apgar, director of the birth defects division of The National Foundation-March of Dimes, "It is a more common and important problem than most people realize. More and more infants and children are being found who are some where between pure male and pure female sex." Such "intersex" is a biologic contradiction and a major mystery. How does it come about? Perhaps if we had the explanation, doctors oould de vise ways to prevent it or treat it to straighten things out again. That's why March of Dimes funds have been awarded to support investigations by Dr Gregory Pincus, an interna tionally recognized authority on hormones and research di rector of the Worcester Foun dation for Experimental Bi ology, Shrewsbury, Mass. It is known that heredity factors can lead to sex abnor malities. But Dr. Pincus points out, "obviously heredity isn't the whole story." Hormones are undoubtedly involved, too Scientists speculate that cer tain hormones or other sub stances in a pregnant mother's body may reach the cells of her unborn baby during the critical early days of growth and completely change the di rection of the baby's sex de velopment. Though their project is still in its early stages. Dr. Pinc-us and his associate, Dr. Alan Erickson, have found that this theory holds water. If an egg containing a four day-old chick embryo is dipped for just ten seconds into a solution containing a female 6ex hormone, a budding rooster can be "feminized." If such birds are allowed to hatch and mature without any Miss Molly Jane Bobbitt of Henderson and Miss Marie El liott of Richmond, Va., are spending sometime with Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Rodwell.

March of Dimes-supported scientists found that in time na ture reasserted i?sc!f and "hen ' began to crow like a rooster. further hormonn treatment, most of them eventually revert to the maleness that nature had intended for them. They grow combs and wattles and crow like any self-respecting rooster. Internally, too, mat ters are corrected and organs usually appear to be normal. But once in a while there's an exception. The bird doesn't revert to male, but stays somewhere in-between. As a potential rooster, the tird is sterile. As a potential hen, it does not lay eg.es.

He is a March of Dimes research grantee. For the hormone that "mas culinised" female chick era br\os wa* progesterone. This isn't a male sex hormone by a long shot. In fact, it is most ly connected with female ovaries and its primary func tion is to keep things going smoothly during the course of prei; mcy. Just why a "pregnancy hor mone" should have such drastic eiVect on the sex of a female chick is another puzzling ele irout in the birth development riddle that Dr. Pincus and his colleagues are trying to de cipher. Their long-range study, they believe, will help explain some of the mysteries surrounding the earliest stages of human development. Their results have al.eudy pinned down one iin pcrtant point beyond conten tion: heredity is by no means the unly factor that determines sex. Whatever comes in contact w,th embryonic cells may alter them, or even destroy them. "Certainly the possible In fluence of hormones needs further investigation," Dr. Ap gar states. "We already know, for instance, that excessive ' hormone treatment of a preg nant woman sometimes 'femi inU-s' her baby if it is a male, ! producing changes parallel to | those observed by Dr. Pincus I in his experiments."
