Abstract:26The nuclear receptor NR5A1 (also known as Ad4BP, or SF1) is essential for the initial steps 27 of mammalian gonadal development. The Nr5a1 gene is equally expressed in XX and XY 28 gonadal primordia, but after sex determination, is up-regulated in XY and down-regulated in 29 XX gonads. We recently reported a case of 46, XX disorder of sex development (DSD) in 30 which ectopically expressed NR5A1 in XX gonads led to an ovo-testicular phenotype, 31 suggesting that excess NR5A1 can direct the development of imm… Show more
