Eur J Endocrinol. 2021 Dec 1;186(1):65-72. PMID: 34714774, doi: 10.1530/EJE-21-0910.Brief Summary: This brief report describes a novel gene, PPP2R3C, in the pathogenesis of complete and partial XY and XX gonadal dysgenesis (GD).GD is a very rare condition with an estimated prevalence of 1–9 cases per 100,000 live-births. GD can be classified as either complete...

Sex Dev. 2021;15(4):244-252. PMID: 34293745, doi: 10.1159/000515924.Brief Summary: This genetic study provides data of a large cohort of 140 patients with DSD who were screened for DHX37 variants.DHX37 emerges as a frequent cause of nonsyndromic 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis, and 46,XY testicular regression syndrome. Since the first description of the gene (1), <...

6.8. Targeting the non-coding genome for the diagnosis of disorders of sex development

G Atlas , R Sreenivasan , A Sinclair

Sex Dev. 2021;15(5-6):392-410. PMID: 34634785, doi: 10.1159/000519238. Brief Summary: This review summarizes how non-coding genomic variants are identified and validated, and why non-coding defects found in DSD patients have to be considered when investigating the genetic etiology of DSD.Accurate genetic diagnosis of 46,XY DSD patients remains crucial for early treatment and ...
