Background: Deficiency of microsomal membrane enzyme 5α reductase 2 impairs the DHT production and differentiation of external genitalia, seminal vesicles and prostate in males. The present study describes the Genotype-Phenotype in inter-familial and intra-familial patients with same mutation of SRD5A2 gene.Methods: All patients underwent detailed clinical evaluation, hormonal profile, karyotyping and molecular analysis of SRD5A2 g...

Background: Disorders of sex development (DSD) is a group of uncommon birth defects. Androgen excess in genetic females and androgen deficiency in genetic males can result in DSD. A child with ambiguous genitalia could be a virilized female or an under-masculinized male. Presented here is the socio-demographic profile, age at diagnosis, clinic 351al profile and etiology of patients with 46,XY DSD who are on follow up at our hospital.Objective and hypothe...

Background: Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a rare disease due to end organ resistance of androgens. AIS is commonly caused by the mutations of androgen receptor (AR) gene located on chromosome Xq11-12. The mode of inheritance is hemizygous, where males get severely affected and females remain as carriers.Objective and hypotheses: Here, we describe the Phenotype–Genotype correlation and gender identity of pubertal and post pubertal...
