Mutation analysis of the 2 kb 5' to SRY in XY females and XY intersex subjects.

چکیده
Mutations in the Y linked testis determining gene SRY cause 46,XY sex reversal. However, only about 15% of cases of 46,XY sex reversal are accounted for by mutations in SRY. In this study we have investigated the possibility that mutations affecting the expression of SRY might cause some of the cases of sex reversal in which the coding sequence of SRY is normal. We have screened 2 kb of DNA immediately 5' to the SRY coding sequence in 49 subjects with varying degrees of 46,XY sex reversal. Two variant bases were identified, one of which was determined to be a polymorphism and the other is unique, but familial.

The expression of Y-linked Zfy2 in XY mouse oocytes leads to frequent meiosis 2 defects, a high incidence of subsequent early cleavage stage arrest and infertility
Outbred XY(Sry-) female mice that lack Sry due to the 11 kb deletion Sry(dl1Rlb) have very limited fertility. However, five lines of outbred XY(d) females with Y chromosome deletions Y(Del(Y)1Ct)-Y(Del(Y)5Ct) that deplete the Rbmy gene cluster and repress Sry transcription were found to be of good fertility. Here we tested our expectation that the difference in fertility between XO, XY(d-1) and...

Background: Disorders of sex development (DSD) are a medical condition that affects the normal process of sexual Various of the genes needed for gonad development have been identified by investigation of patients with disorders sex development (DSD).Phenotypes of patients with 46,XY DSD range from atonalism in female phenotype with complete external genitalia to male phenotype with testicular...
متن کاملI-17: The Mechanism of Gonadal Sex Determination
Background In mammals, a single exon gene SRY on the Y-chromosome is activated in the XY gonadal primordium and initiates a cascade of molecular and morphological events leading to testicular differentiation. SRY-encoded protein (SRY) is a transcription factor harboring a HMG-box DNAbinding motif that upregulates SOX9, which encodes another transcription factor sharing the DNA binding motif wit...
متن کاملCopy number variation of two separate regulatory regions upstream of SOX9 causes isolated 46,XY or 46,XX disorder of sex development.
BACKGROUND SOX9 mutations cause the skeletal malformation syndrome campomelic dysplasia in combination with XY sex reversal. Studies in mice indicate that SOX9 acts as a testis-inducing transcription factor downstream of SRY, triggering Sertoli cell and testis differentiation. An SRY-dependent testis-specific enhancer for Sox9 has been identified only in mice. A previous study has implicated co...

Background and purpose: In humans, SRY (sex-determining region of the Y chromosome) is the major gene for the sex determination which is found in normal XY males and rarely in XX males, and it is absent from normal XX females and from many XY females. There are several methods which can indicate a male genotype by amplification of SRY gene. The aim of this study was identification of the SRY ge...
