Background: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is produced by Sertoli cells and signals through two transmembrane receptors (AMHR), specific type II and type I, leading to regression of Mullerian ducts (uterus and fallobian tubes) during fetal male sex differentiation. Mutations of AMH and AMHR-II genes lead to persistence of Mullerian ducts in males. These conditions are transmitted in a recessive autosomal pattern and are symptomatic in 46,XY phenotypic males.<p class="abstext...
