A Case with late onset of ambiguous genitalia
Gargari, Soraya Saleh; Azizi, Faezeh; Saleh, Nasrin & Omrani, Mir Davood
Abstract
Background: Ambiguous genitalia is an uncommon situation that happens
between 1 and 2 per every 1000 live births and falls under the umbrella diagnosis
of disorders of sexual development.
Case: In this article, we report a case of male pseudohermaphroditism with
ambiguous genitalia. The proband was a 12 yr old girl without any uterus or
ovarian tissues. Karyotype of the case is 46, XY. Genes involved in sexual
differentiation such as AR, SRD5A2, LH, LHR, FSH, 17 B HSD and SRY genes
were sequenced in both directions. No mutations were found in these genes
either.
Conclusion: It seems advisable to be cautious in similar cases, and revise
protocol for tracing the genes involved in the patients.
Keywords
Ambiguous genitalia; Male pseudohermaphroditism; Mutations.
