Mol Genet Genomic Med. 2018 Sep;6(5):785–795.doi: 10.1002/mgg3.445. PubMed PMID: 29998616Chromobox protein homolog 2 (CBX2) has two isoforms, CBX2.1 and the shorter CBX2.2. CBX2.1 was previously shown to be essential for male gonadal development, when a mutation was identified in a girl with 46,XY DSD. CBX2.1 stimulates male-specific...
