Background: Hypospadias is a common characteristic of Disorders of Sex Development (DSD). At the present time a molecular diagnosis is not reached in over 50% of cases. The DDD Study represents a useful resource of large molecular and phenotypic datasets obtained from individuals with an undiagnosed developmental abnormality including DSD.Objective: To review associated features and identify likely pathogenic variants in previously undiagnosed DDD partic...

Background: Collaborative project to review the phenotypic and genotypic data from children recruited to the UK wide deciphering developmental disorders (DDD) study.Objective and hypotheses: To report the frequency and range of disorders of sex development (DSD) phenotypes observed in DDD participants who have one or more associated ‘neurodevelopmental delay’ diagnostic human phenotype ontology (HPO) term.Method: Retrospe...

Introduction: Complications are frequently reported post hypospadias repair and there is a need to understand the factors that influence their occurrence.Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the occurrence of complications in boys with hypospadias that are in the I-DSD Registry.Methods: Data from boys born with hypospadias between 2010-2020 were obtained from the I-DSD regist...

Background/Aims: 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is classified as complete (CGD) or partial (PGD) depending on gonadal morphology and function. In contrast to the typical female external genitalia in CGD, the phenotype of PGD is variable depending on androgen production. A diagnosis of PGD is based on clinical/biochemical features, gonadal histology and genetic findings. The aim of this study is to characterise these features, particularly histological, in a lar...

Introduction: Data on BP in children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is inconsistent.Aim: To assess the trend in BP throughout childhood using data from the International CAH registry and compare this to normative data from the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP).Method: This retrospective multi-centre study included 37 centres from 20 countries. BP data was ana...
