Mutations of androgen receptor gene in Brazilian patients with male pseudohermaphroditism

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
We describe the identification of point mutations in the androgen receptor gene in five Brazilian patients with female assignment and behavior. The eight exons of the gene were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyzed for single ...

The Genetic Landscape of Müllerian Duct Anomalies: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesReproductive Medicine and Biology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are developmental malformations of the female genital tract that present as a series of abnormalities within the reproductive tracts of females. The etiology of MDAs is complex and heterogeneous, especially genetic factors.

Exploring the dual role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in urological cancers: Implications for tumor progression and cell death interactions

open access: yesJournal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2024.
Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for maintaining calcium balance, lipid biosynthesis, and protein folding. Disruptions in ER homeostasis, often due to the accumulation of misfolded or unfolded proteins, lead to ER stress, which plays a significant role in various diseases, especially cancer.

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome Presenting in an Incarcerated Recurrent Inguinal Hernia with Hydrocele

open access: yesUrology Case Reports, 2017
Hernia uteri inguinalis (HUI) is one of the rarest causes of male pseudo-hermaphroditism worldwide. We report the case of a 49-year-old male with discovery of this anomaly during inguinal hernia repair.

Restoring function to inactivating G protein‐coupled receptor variants in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis1

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2024.
Pharmacological chaperones (PC's) are an emerging class of cell permeant small molecules that can stabilise the folding of misfolded variant proteins, thus restoring function. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of plasma membrane associated receptors that have been shown to be amenable to PC rescue.

Psychosocial considerations in the management of late-diagnosed male pseudohermaphroditism

open access: yesThe Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1994
Male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH), which causes ambiguous genitalia, rarely presents during adolescence. Herein we report two siblings diagnosed with MPH at the ages of 16 and 12 years and raised unambiguously as girls. Individuals with MPH provide
