You can have X0, XX, YY, XYY, XXY, XXYY individuals.

And then some genetic combinations of the normal male pattern present as females due to hormone insensitivity.
Some examples:
"Turner Syndrome: This condition affects females who typically have only one X chromosome (45,X). Symptoms include short stature, webbed neck, and incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics1.
Klinefelter syndrome
Klinefelter Syndrome: Males with this condition have an extra X chromosome (47,XXY). They may have reduced muscle mass, less facial and body hair, and enlarged breast tissue1.
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS): Individuals with AIS have a male XY karyotype but are resistant to male hormones (androgens). As a result, they may develop female physical traits despite having male chromosomes.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH): This condition affects the adrenal glands, leading to an overproduction of androgens. It can cause ambiguous genitalia in females and early puberty in both sexes."
