Background: Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS), ranging from complete (CAIS) to partial (PAIS) and to mild (MAIS) forms of androgen resistance, is caused by mutations in the X-linked AR gene that encodes the androgen receptor. Some cases, however, remain without a molecular genetic diagnosis that would confirm the diagnosis especially in cases that have phenotypic similarities with other 46,XY disorders of sex development.Objective and hypoth...

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescence: New Therapeutic Approach with Inositol and Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Torge Nunzia , Iezzi Maria Laura , Varriale Gaia , Farello Giovanni , Basti Claudia , Zagaroli Luca , Lasorella Stefania , Verrotti Alberto

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation and/or ultrasound finding of polycystic ovaries. Insulin-resistance represents the etiopathogenetic key of PCOS: a deficit of Inositols tissue availability seems to be responsible for this clinical picture. Hyperglycemia resulting insulin-resistance, determines a state of chronic inflammation, which increases oxidative stress.<p class="abst...

46,XY Partial Gonadal Dysgenesis Caused by an Xp21.2 Interstitial Duplication that Does not Encompass the NR0B1 Gene

dos Santos Ana Paula , Piveta Cristiane dos Santos Cruz , de Andrade Juliana Gabriel Ribeiro , Fabbri Helena Campos , Lopes Vera Lucia Gil da Silva , Junior Gil Guerra , Guerra Andrea Trevas Maciel , Mello Maricilda Palandi

Background: A portion of 160 kb on Xp21.2 is defined as dosage sensitive sex reversal, including NR0B1, which is considered the most likely candidate gene involved in XY gonadal dysgenesis if overexpressed. The excess of NR0B1 gene product seems to disturb testicular development by down regulating NR5A1, WT1, and SOX9. Xp duplication causes insufficient SRY expression leading to testis development failure. However, NR0B1 si...

Background: In gender dysphoric (GD) adolescents with advanced pubertal development, psychological relief can be attained with progestins, which are much cheaper and easier to administer than GnRHa. Moreover, use of GnRHa has been shown to interfere with pubertal bone mass accrual.

Background: Incidence of hypospadias varies considerably across countries, ranging from 4 to 43 cases per 10,000 births. Environmental factors might explain these differences. The classical approach is to use case-control studies to identify these factors. However, this approach suffers from the unavoidable arbitrariness of the definition of controls, and of recall bias.Objective and hypotheses: To identify environmental markers of the place of birth of ...

Familial Testotoxicosis: Outcome and Possible Relation to Testicular Malignancies

Hovinga Idske Kremer , Stuart Annemarie Verrijn

Background: Testotoxicosis or familial male-limited precocious puberty (FMPP) is a rare disease caused by an autosomal dominant activating mutation of the luteinizing hormone receptor gene, leading to early gonadotrophin-independent precocious puberty. Phenotypic expression is limited to males. Treatment evolved over the last decades and nowadays consists of a combination of a potent anti-androgen agent and a third-generation aromatase inhibitor.

Udhane Sameer S. , Parween Shaheena , Pandey Amit V.

Background: The steroidogenic enzyme aromatase (CYP19A1) is a protein located in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogens. Both deficiency and excess of aromatase activity lead to disease states implicating its role in human biology.

Colindres Johanna Viau , Eugster Erica , Smith O'Brian , Gunn Sheila , Mendiratta Meenal , Karaviti Lefkothea

A multidisciplinary team should guide the process of sex assignment, however a standardized approach may provide objective guidance for the team as well as a tool for settings without such resources. One of the most important considerations for sex assignment is the hormonal production, which often determines the degree of virilization. ...
