Challenges in Management of Ovotesticular Differences in Sex Development in Resource-Limited Settings [PDF]
Differences in sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions in which the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is atypical. Ovotesticular DSD is the rarest variant of DSD where both ovarian and testicular tissues co-exist in an ...

Fully Masculinized 46,XX Individuals with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Perspective Regarding Sex of Rearing and Surgery [PDF]
Current guidelines for gender assignment for all 46,XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) continue to be female. This decision is most challenging for individuals with a 46,XX karyotype born with (CAH) having severely masculinized genitalia (Prader 4 ...

MANAGEMENT OF A CHILD WITH A DIFFERENCE IN SEX DEVELOPMENT CAUSED BY A NR5A1 PATHOGENIC VARIANT
Introduction: Differences of Sex Development (DSD) occur in approximately 1/5000 live births. One of the recently found genetic causes for 46, xY DSD is NR5A1 gene variants, responsible for a broad phenotypic spectrum.

Sex Trouble: Common pitfalls in incorporating sex/gender in medical machine learning and how to avoid them [PDF]
False assumptions about sex and gender are deeply embedded in the medical system, including that they are binary, static, and concordant. Machine learning researchers must understand the nature of these assumptions in order to avoid perpetuating them. In this perspectives piece, we identify three common mistakes that researchers make when dealing with ...

Oligogenic Origin of Differences of Sex Development in Humans [PDF]
Sex development is a very complex biological event that requires the concerted collaboration of a large network of genes in a spatial and temporal correct fashion. In the past, much has been learned about human sex development from monogenic disorders/differences of sex development (DSD), but the broad spectrum of phenotypes in numerous DSD individuals

Global estimation and scenario-based projections of sex ratio at birth and missing female births using a Bayesian hierarchical time series mixture model [PDF]
The sex ratio at birth (SRB) is defined as the ratio of male to female live births. The SRB imbalance in parts of the world over the past several decades is a direct consequence of sex-selective abortion, driven by the co-existence of son preference, readily available technology of prenatal sex determination, and fertility decline.
