Differences in Sex Development

This work explores the complexities that can arise in sex development, from normal biological processes to developmental deviations that lead to disorders of sex development. Normal biological sex differentiation is determined by hormonal and genetic factors where the sex chromosomes XY and XX determine the path of the first developmental stages ...

Characteristics and possible mechanisms of 46, XY differences in sex development caused by novel compound variants in NR5A1 and MAP3K1

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Dozens of genes are involved in 46, XY differences in sex development (DSD). Notably, about 3/4 of patients cannot make a clear etiology diagnosis and single gene variant identified cannot fully explain the clinical heterogeneity of 46, XY DSD.

Whose responsibility is it to talk with children and young people about intersex/differences in sex development? Young people’s, caregivers’ and health professionals’ perspectives

Frontiers in Urology, 2023
IntroductionOver the past two decades, there has been a shift from concealing diagnoses of sex development from impacted people to the broad principle of age-appropriate disclosure. This change is consistent with children’s rights and with general shifts

Elevated plasma miR‐210 expression is associated with atypical genitalia in patients with 46,XY differences in sex development

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2022
Background Differences of sex development (DSD) is a term used for conditions in which the chromosomal, gonadal or phenotypical sex is atypical. 46,XY DSD patients frequently present undervirilized external genitalia.
