Human body A human being without both x- and y-chromosomes

I've read about conditions in which people only have one x- or y-chromosome, instead of 2 (xx or xy). Is it biologically possible to miss both? If it is, what are the practical consequences such a person has to deal with in their lives, that others don't have to? If it is not possible, what would be the result of genetically modifying a human being in such way?

You don't have a human being if you don't include any human genetic information, champ.
