The "backdoor pathway" of androgen synthesis in human male sexual development. [PDF]
Mammalian sex determination (male versus female) is largely controlled by genes, whereas sex differentiation (development of reproductive structures) is largely controlled by hormones. Work in the 20th century indicated that female external anatomy was a

The observational studies confirmed the high prevalence of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but whether this reflects a shared genetic etiology and exists underlying causal relationships remains unknown. Here, we utilized the largest scale cross‐trait analysis from genome‐

CYP21A2 gene mutationsin the women with recurrent miscarriage
Miscarriage is one of the major problems of modern reproduction. Total frequency of micarrieges is estimated as 15–27 % of total pregnancies. Recurrent Miscarriage (RM) (three or more spontaneous abortions) is responsible for almost 20 % of total miscarrieges. The population frequency of RM fluctuates from 2 % to 5 %.

Abstract Background Newborn screening (NBS) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) based on hormonal testing is successfully implemented in many countries. However, this method cannot detect non-classic CAH and has high false positive rates. Methods This study aimed to develop a novel MALDI-TOF MS assay that can identify common variants and

CYP21A2 mutations in pediatric patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Costa Rica
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for 95% of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) cases. Newborn screening has allowed for early detection of the disease, and currently, molecular analysis can identify the genotypes of these patients. Phenotype-genotype correlation has been well described in previous studies.

From Genomic Fossils to Functional Elements: The Evolving Story of Pseudogenes
This review begins with an introduction, summarizing the research background in pseudogene studies. It then contains three aspects: identification of pseudogenes, detailing their classification and features in metazoan genomes; functional pseudogenes, introducing their reactivation and regulation mechanisms; and pseudogenes’ contribution to species ...
