Disorders of Sexual Differentiation and Sex Development
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The determination of a baby’s sex begins at the chromosomal level with the insemination of the ovum. Further sexual differentiation follows during the subsequent embryogenesis. However, chromosomal anomalies, gene mutations, and other exogenous or endogenous factors can cause disorders of sexual differentiation. These disorders manifest during childhood or at the latest in puberty, making patients consult their doctor. Here, we offer you an overview of the most common syndromes resulting from disorders of sexual differentiation.

I-43: Identification of SOX3 as an XX MaleSex Reversal Gene in Mice and Jumans
Background: Mammals utilise an XX/XY system of sex determination in which the Y-linked gene SRY (Sexdetermining region Y) exerts a dominant masculinising influence on sexual development. Sex chromosome homology and comparative sequence studies suggest that SRY evolved from the related SOX3 gene on the X chromosome, although there is no direct functional evidence to support this hypothesis. The ...
