Abstract
Recently, a heterozygous missense mutation in NR5A1, p.R92W, was identified as a cause of 46,XX testicular/ovo-testicular disorders of sexual development (DSD). We report a sibling pair with 46,XX DSD due to an NR5A1 mutation with distinct phenotypes, including external and internal genitalia and gonads, for whom different rearing sexes were selected. Thus, the phenotypes of p.R92W vary, even within a family. The father of the patients showed oligozoospermia with the p.R92W mutation, suggesting that in 46,XY individuals, the mutation would cause various gonadal phenotypes. We review and discuss the general role of the R92W mutation in sexual development.Entities:
