The Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) represses gene expression through CBX2, which binds to H3K27me3 and promotes chromatin expression. Recently, CBX2 has been shown to function in testis-formation by directly repressing Wnt4's downstream target, Lef1, in Sertoli cells rather than positively controlling Sry expression, as previously thought. Here, we describe two new cases carrying missense mutations in CBX2. The first is a female with 46,XY ...

XY individuals with Disorders/Differences of Sex development (DSD) are characterized by reduced androgenization caused, in some children, by gonadal dysgenesis or, more rarely, testis regression during early fetal development. The genetic etiology for most patients with 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis and for all patients with testicular regression syndrome (TRS) is unknown. Identification of novel genes involved in DSD is crucial for providing an accurate clinical diagnosis, aiding ...
