SOX9 Duplication Linked to Intersex in Deer
A complex network of genes determines sex in mammals. Here, we studied a European roe deer with an intersex phenotype that was consistent with a XY genotype with incomplete male-determination. Whole genome sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed a triple dose of the SOX9 gene, allowing insights into a new genetic defect in a wild animal.

n engl j med 364;1 nejm.org january 6, 2011 91 ulin (a putative megalin ligand) was also detected in this patient, but immunohistochemical analyses revealed no apparent change in its uptake (Fig. S4E and S4F in the Supplementary Appendix), which suggested β2-microblobin is also a shared ligand. Consequently, we tested the binding capacity of α1-microglobulin to cubilin (with the use of surface-...
متن کاملAutosomal XX sex reversal caused by duplication of SOX9.
SOX9 is one of the genes that play critical roles in male sexual differentiation. Mutations of SOX9 leading to haploinsufficiency can cause campomelic dysplasia and XY sex reversal. We report here evidence supporting that SOX9 duplication can cause XX sex reversal. A newborn infant was referred for genetic evaluation because of abnormal male external genitalia. The infant had severe penile/scro...
متن کاملChanging attitudes to sex assignment in intersex.
The existence of people who are neither ‘all male’ nor ‘all female’ has long been recognized in many societies and, with the advent of scientific medicine in European societies in the 19th century, effort has been directed at determining the ‘true sex’ of such individuals [5]. Taxonomy was a new and exciting intellectual activity, and cases of ‘doubtful sex’ were a challenge to science and medi...
متن کاملGenome duplication, subfunction partitioning, and lineage divergence: Sox9 in stickleback and zebrafish.
Teleosts are the most species-rich group of vertebrates, and a genome duplication (tetraploidization) event in ray-fin fish appears to have preceded this remarkable explosion of biodiversity. What is the relationship of the ray-fin genome duplication to the teleost radiation? Genome duplication may have facilitated lineage divergence by partitioning different ancestral gene subfunctions among c...
