Genomic technologies and the diagnosis of 46, XY differences of sex development
Abstract Differences/disorders of sex development can be caused by disruptions to the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control development and sex determination of the reproductive organs with 1:100 live births affected. Multiple genes are associated with 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development that can cause varying clinical phenotypes ...

How exome sequencing improves the diagnostics and management of men with non‐syndromic infertility
Abstract Male infertility affects approximately 17% of all men and represents a complex disorder in which not only semen parameters such as sperm motility, morphology, and number of sperm are highly variable, but also testicular phenotypes range from normal spermatogenesis to complete absence of germ cells.

Cryptorchidism: Novel genetic insights into CCDC149 mutations
Abstract Background Cryptorchidism, characterized by the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum, is a common congenital condition that can lead to infertility and increased risk of testicular cancer. CCDC149, a coiled‐coil domain‐containing protein, has been implicated in various developmental processes, but its role in the male ...

Summary Misspecification of the error covariance in linear models usually leads to incorrect inference and conclusions. We consider two linear models, A$$ \mathcal{A} $$ and B$$ \mathcal{B} $$, with the same design matrix but different error covariance matrices. The conditions under which every representation of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)

The DCIDE framework: systematic investigation of evolutionary hypotheses, exemplified with autism
ABSTRACT Evolutionary explanations of mental disorders are a longstanding aim of evolutionary psychiatry, but have suffered from complexities including within‐disorder heterogeneity and environmental effects of contemporary societies obscuring possible ancestral functions.
