Throughout the books I have read I have only seen examples of female Blanks throughout the 40K universe, the Sisters of Silence being one example.
Are there any male Blanks in any of the source material?

Yes atleast multiple members (I believe even the founder) of the Culexus temple of the assassinorum where male.

If i remember correctly the reason that male blanks are rarer is that the pariah gene is carried on the X chromosome meaning that females are almost twice as likely to have a copy.

The wikia page for Blanks lists a few possible characters. Among those is Ferik Jurgen.
Despite his unprepossessing physical appearance, his indefatigable body odour, and general lack of basic social skills, he had several qualities which made him indispensable to Cain, most notably his fierce bravery and unwavering loyalty to Cain, the Guard, and the Emperor, his implacability under the worst of conditions (except flying), and, last but not least, his incredibly rare attributes as a Blank, which saved both Cain and several others from Daemonic and psychic attack innumerable times.
Following the link to the page about the novel where this is mentioned, For the Emperor, we have the following description:
Vail has some surprising news for Cain: she has been observing Jurgen closely, including her psyker, Rakel's violent reaction to him when Cain first rescued their party from the undercity. Jurgen, she explains, is a Blank - a staggeringly rare attribute that nullifies psychic or daemonic forces in his proximity. Cain is afraid that Vail will recruit him, but she confesses that the Inquisition is much more divided and factionalized than it appears on the outside, and most inquisitors learn to guard their resources jealously. She decides it is safest to leave Jurgen where he is, adding that she'll know where to find them if she needs them. Cain is inwardly terrified at the idea of being recruited to any more Inquisitorial errands, but joins her in toasting "the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
