A Duplicated, Truncated amh Gene Is Involved in Male Sex Determination in an Old World Silverside
A master sex-determining gene, the Y chromosome-linked anti-Müllerian hormone (amhy) gene, has been described in two New World atheriniform species but little is known on the distribution, evolution, and function(s) of this gene in other Atheriniformes. Interestingly, amhy has been found to coexist with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), providing a unique opportunity to explore the...
متن کاملA Tandem Duplicate of Anti-Müllerian Hormone with a Missense SNP on the Y Chromosome Is Essential for Male Sex Determination in Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Variation in the TGF-β signaling pathway is emerging as an important mechanism by which gonadal sex determination is controlled in teleosts. Here we show that amhy, a Y-specific duplicate of the anti-Müllerian hormone (amh) gene, induces male sex determination in Nile tilapia. amhy is a tandem duplicate located immediately downstream of amhΔ-y on the Y chromosome. The coding sequence of amhy wa...
متن کاملPuzzling out the genetics of mammalian sex determination.
Mammals possess an XX/XY chromosomal system for sex determination. The presence of SRY, a masterregulatory gene on the Y chromosome, is necessary to induce the undifferentiated, bipotential gonadal primordium (the embryonic genital ridge) to develop as a testis. In the absence of SRY, it develops as an ovary I. Once the gonads differentiate, their maleor female-specific endocrine function is re...
متن کاملSOX8 is expressed during testis differentiation in mice and synergizes with SF1 to activate the Amh promoter in vitro.
Sox8 is a member of the Sox family of developmental transcription factor genes and is closely related to Sox9, a key gene in the testis determination pathway in mammals. Like Sox9, Sox8 is expressed in the developing mouse testis around the time of sex determination, suggesting that it might play a role in regulating the expression of testis-specific genes. An early step in male sex differentia...
متن کاملThe Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome: An Update Based Upon a Personal Experience of 157 Cases.
Male sex differentiation is driven by 2 hormones, testosterone and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), responsible for the regression of müllerian ducts in male fetuses. Mutations inactivating AMH or its receptor AMHRII lead to the persistent müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) in otherwise normally virilized 46,XY males. Our objective was to review the clinical, anatomical, and molecular features of PMDS...
