Familial 46, XY Disorder of Sexual Development identified in a Ph+BCR::ABL1P210+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia septuagenarian female with RCBTB2::LPAR6 fusion gene: a case report.

Background: Familial 46, XY Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) was discovered in a Ph+, BCR::ABL1P210+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) female with RCBTB2::LPAR6 fusion gene. Siblings developing 46, XY DSD are extremely rare. Patients with 46, XY DSD have much higher rates of gonadal cancers. Nevertheless, the incidence of hematologic malignancies in patients with DSDs has received little attention. RCBTB2::LPAR6 is a rarely reported fusion gene in ALL. Case presentation: Herein, we report a rare case of a newly diagnosed Ph+, BCR::ABL1P210+ ALL patient who was 77 years old and female by social sex. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing revealed TET2 and NF1 mutations in addition to a rarely reported RCBTB2::LPAR6 fusion gene and 17 other genes with uncertain clinical significance. The patient was surprisingly found to have a male karyotype. On ultrasound, neither the uterus nor the ovaries were discernible. A detailed family and marital history revealed that the patient had undergone surgery at an early age for an unexplained inguinal mass. She had slow pubertal development, scanty menstruation, and few overtly feminine characteristics. She had three marriages, but none succeeded in getting pregnant. The patient had never sought therapy for infertility due to the inaccessibility of medical treatment and a lack of medical knowledge. Her sister, 73 years old and female by social sex, who had amenorrhea in adolescence and was unable to conceive, had the same experience. To our surprise, she also had a male karyotype. Conclusions: Due to the absence of long-term social attention and follow-up, studies on the incidence of hematologic malignancies in patients with 46, XY DSD are incredibly uncommon. Siblings developing 46, XY DSD is extremely rare. We report the oldest patient diagnosed with 46, XY DSD. There have not yet been any reports of familial 46, XY DSD with a concurrent diagnosis of Ph+BCR::ABL1P210+ ALL with a rarely reported RCBTB2::LPAR6 fusion gene.

Unusual sex chromosomal DSD in a domestic Shorthair cat with a 37,X/38,XY mosaic karyotype.

BACKGROUND: Sex chromosome abnormalities associated with disorders of sexual development (DSD) are rarely described in cats, mainly due to the lack of chromossome studies that precisely reveal the condition. Genetic approaches are therefore required in order to detect sex chromossomes abnormalities as variations in the number and structure of chromosomes, or the presence of a second cell line as mosaicim or chimerism. CASE PRESENTATION: A male Shorthair cryptorchid cat was presented with clinical signs of anorexia, tenesmus and hyperthermia. Ultrasonography revealed a fluid-filled structure, with approximately 1 cm in diameter, adjacent to the descending colon. Computed tomography evidenced a tubular structure, ventral to the descending colon and caudal to the bladder, which extended cranially, through two branches. Histopathological evaluation confirmed the presence of two atrophic uterine horns and one hypoplastic testicle with epididymis at the end of one of the uterine horns. The end of the other uterine horn was attached to a structure composed by a mass of adipocytes. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a mosaic 37,X/38,XY karyotype. The two cell lines were found in 15% and 85% of the lymphocytes, respectively. Genetic analysis confirmed the presence of SRY and ZFY genes in blood and hair bulbs, and revealed a marked reduction in SRY expression in the testicle. Additionally, this case presented exceptionally rare features, such as a Leydig' cell tumour and a chronic endometritis in both uterine horns. CONCLUSIONS: Complete imaging workup, cytogenetic analysis and SRY gene expression should be systematically realized, in order to properly classify disorders of sexual development (DSD) in cats.

Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome coexisting with müllerian duct remnants: a case report and literature review.

This study represents the first documentation of the coexistence of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) with Müllerian duct remnants (MDRs) in mainland China. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature concerning CAIS with MDRs resulting from androgen receptor (AR) gene mutations. This study broadens the clinical spectrum of CAIS and offer novel insights for further exploration into Müllerian duct regression. A 14-year-old patient, initially raised as female, presented to the clinic with complaints of "primary amenorrhea." Physical examination revealed the following: armpit hair (Tanner stage 2), breast development (Tanner stage 4 with bilateral breast nodule diameter of 7 cm), sparse pubic hair (Tanner stage 3), clitoris measuring 0.8 cm × 0.4 cm, separate urethral and vaginal openings, and absence of palpable masses in the bilateral groin or labia majora. The external genital virilization score was 0 points. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone level was 13.43 IU/L, serum luteinizing hormone level was 31.24 IU/L, and serum testosterone level was 14.95 nmol/L. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) did not reveal a uterus or bilateral fallopian tubes, but nodules on both sides of the pelvic wall indicated cryptorchidism. The karyotype was 46,XY. Genetic testing identified a maternal-derived hemizygous variation c.2359C > T (p.Arg787*) in the AR gene. During abdominal exploration, dysplastic testicles and a dysplastic uterus were discovered. Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of fallopian tube-like structures adjacent to the testicles. The CAIS patient documented in this study exhibited concurrent MDRs, thus expanding the spectrum of clinical manifestations of AIS. A review of prior literature suggests that the incidence of CAIS combined with histologically MDRs is not uncommon. Consequently, the identification of MDRs in AIS cases may represent an integral aspect of clinical diagnosis for this condition.

[Value of the human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation test in the diagnosis of disorder of sexual development in children]. / äººç»’æ¯›è†œä¿ƒæ€§è ºæ¿€ç´ æ¿€å‘è¯•éªŒåœ¨æ€§å‘è‚²å¼‚å¸¸å„¿ç«¥ä¸­çš„è¯Šæ–­ä½œç”¨è¯„ä¼°.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the value of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation test in the diagnosis of disorder of sexual development (DSD) in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 132 children with DSD. According to the karyotype, they were divided into three groups: 46,XX group (n=10), 46,XY group (n=87), and sex chromosome abnormality group (n=35). The above groups were compared in terms of sex hormone levels before and after hCG stimulation test, and the morphological manifestation of the impact of testicular tissue on the results of the hCG stimulation test was analyzed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the multiple increase of testosterone after stimulation among the three groups (P>0.05). In the 46,XY group, the children with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency had a testosterone-to-dihydrotestosterone ratio higher than that of the 46,XY DSD children with other causes. Morphological analysis showed that DSD children with testicular tissue demonstrated a significantly higher multiple increase in testosterone after stimulation compared to children without testicular tissue (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The hCG stimulation test has an important value in assessing the presence and function of testicular interstitial cells in children with different types of DSD, and it is recommended to perform the hCG stimulation test for DSD children with unclear gonadal type.

Ovarian malignancy in an individual with 46,XY ovotesticular disorder of sexual development - A case report.

Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are diseases resulting from aberrations in sex chromosomes, gonadal, and internal/external genitalia development resulting in various phenotypes. Ovotesticular DSD represents a rarer entity in this classification of disorders characterized by simultaneous presence of testicular and ovarian tissue. Gonadal tumors in those with DSDs is a known risk, although ovarian masses discovered in adults with ovotesticular DSD is a rare entity and there is little literature pertaining to this population. We present a case of an incidental adnexal mass discovered in an elderly patient ultimately elucidated as a malignant ovarian mass.

One-stage surgical case management of a two-year-old Arabian horse affected by male-pseudo hermaphroditism.

A two-year-old Arabian horse presented for abnormal external genitalia and dangerous stallion-like behavior was diagnosed with disorder of sexual development (DSD), also known as intersex/hermaphroditism. Standing 1-stage surgical procedure performed under sedation, and local anesthesia to concurrently eliminate stallion-like behavior, risk of neoplastic transformation of intraabdominal gonads, and to replace ambiguous external genital with a functional, and cosmetically more acceptable anatomy. Step-1) Laparoscopic abdominal exploration and gonadectomy; Step-2) Rudimentary penis resection and perineal urethrostomy. The horse tolerated surgery well (combined surgery time 185 min) with no complications. At macroscopic examination of the gonads, they resembled hypoplastic testis-like tissues. Microscopic examination confirmed presence of seminiferous tubules, Leydig and Sertoli/granulosa cells. Cytogenetic evaluation revealed a 64,XX karyotype, SRY-negative. The stallion-like behavior subsided within days post-operatively. Long-term follow-up revealed the genitoplasty site healed without urine scalding or urethral stricture. The owner satisfaction was excellent and the horse could be used post-surgery as an athlete.

An Interesting Case of Hypogonadism: Workup in a Phenotypic Male Reveals XX Genotype.

We present a patient case referred for evaluation of male hypogonadism with gynecomastia. On examination, he was noted to have microtestis, shorter than expected height, and bilateral gynecomastia. Further investigation revealed XX genotype and on fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis confirmed the SRY gene was present on the short arm of 1 X chromosome. This case highlights the importance of detailed history and examination and the indication for genetic counseling in selected cases.

When to address form and when to address function: Timing of surgical reconstruction for a patient with 46 XY DSD.

Differences of sexual development (DSD) refers to congenital conditions characterized by discordant appearances of external genitalia with respect to sex chromosomes. We present a case of a 46 XY DSD adolescent with bilateral undescended testes and severe scrotolabial anomalies who was lost to follow-up for several years who recently presented with "recurrent UTIs." Although the patient desired immediate reconstruction to void while standing, shared-decision making was used to first address his bilateral cryptorchidism, with plans to delay other reconstruction until the patient is older. Pediatric patients with DSD have complicated medical and surgical problems and require a collaborative multidisciplinary team.

High-Grade Prostate Cancer Invading the Vagina: A Case Report of an Unusual Prostate Cancer Diagnosed in a Man with Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome.

We report an extremely rare case of locally advanced prostate cancer in a phenotypic male patient with persistent müllerian duct syndrome. The patient underwent a robot-assisted retzius-sparing radical prostatectomy, bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection, radical hysterectomy, vaginectomy, and salpingo-ophorectomy. He was continent at 3 months follow-up. His follow-up PSA has steadily increased up to 1.4 ng/mL 6 months following surgery and his PSMA-PET scan showed bone metastasis with no local recurrence, and androgen deprivation therapy was started along with docetaxel chemotherapy. Prostate cancer in patients with DSD is extremely rare and can manifest itself with a low PSA, although aggressive cancer.

Monorchidism in a Phenotypic Mare With a 64,XY, SRY-Positive Karyotype.

Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are associated with atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic sex. It is likely that the number of cases of DSD are underestimated in the equine population. Monorchidism in the horse is very rare. This case report describes the clinical assessment of a phenotypic mare with stallion-like behavior which led to the diagnosis of a DSD. A 4-year-old Quarter Horse mare presented in good body condition, with normal external genitalia for a mare, and normal mammary glands with two bilaterally symmetric teats. No uterus, cervix, or gonads were detected on transrectal palpation. Transrectal ultrasonography revealed a single gonad in the right dorsal abdomen with the morphologic appearance of a testicle. Presurgical hormonal evaluation revealed elevated serum testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations. The right gonad was successfully removed via standing exploratory laparoscopy and submitted for histopathology. No gonad was identified on the left side during laparoscopy. Histopathologic examination confirmed that the excised gonad was a testicle. Cytogenetic and molecular analysis revealed a 64,XY, SRY-positive chromosomal constitution. Hormonal evaluation 5 weeks after surgery revealed low serum testosterone and AMH levels. A diagnosis of monorchidism was based on ultrasound examination, laparoscopic exploration of the abdomen, removal of a single gonad, and a subsequent decrease in serum testosterone and AMH concentrations to basal levels. In summary, a combination of clinical signs, endocrine evaluation, chromosomal and molecular analysis, and histopathology can be used in the diagnosis of DSD conditions.

Characterisation of eight cattle with Swyer syndrome by whole-genome sequencing.

Swyer syndrome is where an individual has the karyotype of a typical male yet is phenotypically a female. The lack of a (functional) SRY gene located on the Y-chromosome is implicated in some cases of the Swyer syndrome, although many Swyer individuals with an apparently fully functional SRY gene have also been documented. The present study undertook whole genome sequence analyses of eight cattle with suspected Swyer syndrome and compared their genome to that of both a control male and female. Sequence analyses coupled with female phenotypes confirmed that all eight individuals had the 60,XY sex reversal Swyer syndrome. Seven of the eight Swyer syndrome individuals had a deletion on the Y chromosome encompassing the SRY gene (i.e., SRY-). The eighth individual had no obvious mutation in the SRY gene (SRY+) or indeed in any reported gene associated with sex reversal in mammals; a necropsy was performed on this individual. No testicles were detected during the necropsy. Histological examination of the reproductive tract revealed an immature uterine body and horns with inactive glandular tissue of normal histological appearance; both gonads were elongated, a characteristic of most reported cases of Swyer in mammals. The flanking sequence of 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms within 10 kb of the SRY gene are provided to help diagnose some cases of Swyer syndrome. These single nucleotide polymorphisms will not, however, detect all cases of Swyer syndrome since, as evidenced from the present study (and other studies), some individuals with the Swyer condition still contain the SRY gene (i.e., SRY+).

The Development of Normal Fetal External Genitalia Throughout Gestation.

In this review, we describe normal development of fetal genitalia throughout gestation as well as the identification of normal male and female genitalia on ultrasound. We use abnormal and ambiguous genitalia as illustrative tools to assist with the identification of normal genitalia and recognition of some of the most common abnormalities in external genitalia development.

PUBERTAL VIRILIZATION IN AN ADOLESCENT WITH 46, XY DISORDER OF SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT: A NOVEL MUTATION IN NR5A1 GENE.

Background: NR5A1 [Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1)] is a nuclear receptor that is essential for the development of gonads and adrenal glands as well as the establishment of steroidogenesis in these organs. The clinical findings of the mutations of NR5A1 gene in 46, XY individuals are variable. Virilization at puberty can be seen in some of the 46, XY children who have a female phenotype and are raised as female.A girl aged 13 years and 10 months old was brought by the family for deepening of her voice. On physical examination, her breast development was Tanner stage 2, axillary hair (+) and pubic hair was Tanner stage 4. She had labioscrotal fusion and 4.4 cm phallus (External Masculinisation Score was 6). Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, low AMH and high testosterone levels were detected in laboratory tests. Uterus was not visualized in pelvic ultrasonography. Karyotype analysis was reported as 46, XY. Sequence analysis of the NR5A1 gene revealed a novel heterozygote c.1075_1089del (p.Leu359_Leu363del) variant. The patient was raised as a female and oestrogen replacement was started following gonadectomy. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that virilization may develop at puberty in individuals with 46, XY disorder of sexual development due to NR5A1 mutation.

Approach of Heterogeneous Spectrum Involving 3beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 2 Deficiency.

We aim to review data on 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (3ßHSD2) deficiency. We identified 30 studies within the last decade on PubMed: 1 longitudinal study (N = 14), 2 cross-sectional studies, 1 retrospective study (N = 16), and 26 case reports (total: 98 individuals). Regarding geographic area: Algeria (N = 14), Turkey (N = 31), China (2 case reports), Morocco (2 sisters), Anatolia (6 cases), and Italy (N = 1). Patients' age varied from first days of life to puberty; the oldest was of 34 y. Majority forms displayed were salt-wasting (SW); some associated disorders of sexual development (DSD) were attendant also-mostly 46,XY males and mild virilisation in some 46,XX females. SW pushed forward an early diagnosis due to severity of SW crisis. The clinical spectrum goes to: premature puberty (80%); 9 with testicular adrenal rest tumours (TARTs); one female with ovarian adrenal rest tumours (OARTs), and some cases with adrenal hyperplasia; cardio-metabolic complications, including iatrogenic Cushing' syndrome. More incidental (unusual) associations include: 1 subject with Barter syndrome, 1 Addison's disease, 2 subjects of Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY/46,XX, respective 47,XXY). Neonatal screening for 21OHD was the scenario of detection in some cases; 17OHP might be elevated due to peripheral production (pitfall for misdiagnosis of 21OHD). An ACTH stimulation test was used in 2 studies. Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry unequivocally sustains the diagnostic by expressing high baseline 17OH-pregnenolone to cortisol ratio as well as 11-oxyandrogen levels. HSD3B2 gene sequencing was provided in 26 articles; around 20 mutations were described as "novel pathogenic mutation" (frameshift, missense or nonsense); many subjects had a consanguineous background. The current COVID-19 pandemic showed that CAH-associated chronic adrenal insufficiency is at higher risk. Non-adherence to hormonal replacement contributed to TARTs growth, thus making them surgery candidates. To our knowledge, this is the largest study on published cases strictly concerning 3ßHSD2 deficiency according to our methodology. Adequate case management underlines the recent shift from evidence-based medicine to individualized (patient-oriented) medicine, this approach being particularly applicable in this exceptional and challenging disorder.

Case Report: Disorder of Sexual Development in a Chinese Crested Dog With XX/XY Leukocyte Chimerism and Mixed Cell Testicular Tumors.

A 10-year-old intact female Chinese Crested dog was presented for evaluation and further diagnostics due to persistent symptoms of vulvar swelling, vaginal discharge, and an 8-year history of acyclicity. At presentation, generalized hyperpigmentation and truncal alopecia were identified, with no aberrations of the female phenotype. Vaginal cytology confirmed the influence of estrogen at multiple veterinary visits, and hormonal screening of progesterone and anti-Mullerian hormone indicated gonadal presence. Based on findings from abdominal laparotomy and gonadectomy, the tissue was submitted for histopathology. Histopathologic evaluation identified the gonads to be abnormal testes containing multiple Sertoli and interstitial (Leydig) cell tumors. The histopathologic diagnosis of testes and concurrent normal external female phenotype in the patient lead to a diagnosis of a disorder of sexual development (DSD). Karyotype evaluation by conventional and molecular analysis revealed a two cell line chimeric pattern of 78,XX (80%) and 78,XY (20%) among blood leukocytes, as well as a positive PCR test for the Y-linked SRY gene. Cytogenetic analysis of skin fibroblasts revealed the presence of 78,XX cells exclusively, and PCR tests for the Y-linked SRY gene were negative in the hair and skin samples. These results are consistent with an XX/XY blood chimerism. This is one of the few case reports of a canine with the diagnosis of leukocyte chimerism with normal female phenotypic external genitalia. This case illustrates a distinct presentation for hormonally active Sertoli cell tumorigenesis and demonstrates surgery as a curative treatment option for clinically affected patients.

Ovotesticular Disorder of Sex Development: Approach and Management of an Index Case in the Dominican Republic.

Disorders of sex development (DSD) are a group of congenital conditions associated with anomalous development of internal and external genital organs. Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) is a condition in which a child is born with both testicular tissue (that possesses variable fertility potential within seminiferous tubules) and ovarian tissue (with primordial follicles). These tissues may be co-existent in the same gonad (ovotestis) or independently in separate gonads. Here, we report the clinical case of a 21-month-old boy that we met during a humanitarian surgical mission performed at Hospital Dr. Francisco Moscoso Puello, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The child was referred for management of hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and symptomatic right inguinal and umbilical hernias. With further chromosomal evaluation, the diagnosis of SRY-negative OT-DSD was made, and shared decision-making was used to determine the timing of gender assignment, reconstruction, and the child's long-term care team. OT-DSD is an uncommon condition with unclear causes. Once a DSD condition is suspected at birth, a complete investigation should be performed, encompassing a descriptive examination, a basic electrolyte and hormonal profile, genetic assessment, and pelvic ultrasound. Consultation with a multidisciplinary team is warranted, including pediatric urology or pediatric surgery with urologic training, endocrinology, genetics, psychology, pathology, and the patient's pediatrician at minimum before surgical reconstruction. It is crucial to involve the patient and their family with shared decision-making before surgery or gender assignment.

A manless adultery: the story of Bassa as related in a Marcus Valerius Martialis' epigram.

During the Golden Age of the Roman Empire, Rome was transformed into a magnificent city where architecture, the arts, and commerce flourished. An inconceivable amount of wealth was accumulated by a handful of noble families, while the masses starved. In such a context, moral values inevitably decline, while sexual mores are liberalized and ever more veer towards salacity. This reality was elegantly illustrated in short, often sarcastic poems known as epigrams. Herein, we present a case of a woman with enigmatic appearance of the external genitalia, exhibiting unrestrained homosexual activity, as described in an epigram by Marcus Valerius Martialis (a contemporary poet who lived in the 1st century AD). Based on the information provided in the ancient text, we formulate a differential diagnosis and deduce that this woman was, in fact, a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). To our knowledge, this is the earliest literary description worldwide of a case of CAH as a cause of homosexuality and unquenchable lust.

18-Year-old patient with Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) - case report.

AIMS: The aims of the presented case report are to emphasize the importance of a proper diagnostics and treatment in the case of the coexistence of Klinefelter syndrome (KS, 47 XXY) and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS). Since there is no causal treatment it is necessary to provide the patient with a good quality of life, including psychological and sexological support. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The presented case report is the retrospective analysis of the patient's medical history over the 3 years. RESULTS: At the age of 15, the patient was directed to genetic testing due to primary amenorrhea. The results of the patient showed an incorrect male karyotype with the SRY gene present (47, XXY). A molecular diagnostics revealed a very rare variant of the androgen receptor (AR) mutation responsible for tissue insensitivity to androgens. The detected mutation has not been described in the available databases so far. Following a diagnosis of the presence of Klinefelter syndrome (KS, 47 XXY) together with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), the patient underwent a bilateral gonadectomy. CONCLUSIONS: In women with KS and CAIS physiological reproduction and maintenance of normal sex, hormone levels are not possible. A gonadectomy is performed due to the risk of malignant testicular tumors.

Prophylactic gonadectomy in 46 XY females; why, where and when?

OBJECTIVES: We compared cases of phenotypic female patients who presented with male karyotype and underwent prophylactic gonadectomy. CASE PRESENTATION: Five patients with female phenotypes presented in early adulthood with primary amenorrhoea with varying degrees of puberty. One was tall with breast development. Another was very short with clitoromegaly and multiple co-morbidities. The other three had no secondary sexual characteristics. They were examined, after which hormonal profile, karyotyping, ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging were done to assess the site of gonads. Gonadectomy was performed once their 46 XY karyotype was confirmed. Results of histopathological examination of their gonads ranged from dysgenetic gonads to having testicular tissues and malignancy. CONCLUSION: Female patients with 46 XY karyotypes require prophylactic gonadectomy performed at different timings depending on diagnosis due to the malignancy risk. Pre-operative assessment is essential to locate the gonads prior to surgery.

Early and late diagnoses of 17ß-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-3 deficiency in two unrelated patients.

17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency is a rare cause of 46 XY disorders of sexual development. Mutations in the HSD17B3 gene result in reduced activity of the 17ß-HSD3 enzyme, decreasing the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. In this report, two cases, admitted with different clinical findings in the neonatal and adolescent periods and were decided to be raised in different genders are presented. The first case who had complete female external genitalia presented on the third postnatal day with the complaint of swelling in the groin. He was decided to be raised as a male and was treated successfully with parenteral testosterone in order to increase phallus size before surgical correction of the external genitalia. The second case was an adolescent girl who presented due to pubertal virilisation and primary amenorrhoea and chose female gender. Molecular genetic analyses of the HSD17B3 gene revealed two different previously reported homozygous variants. We emphasise that patients with 17ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 deficiency can present with heterogeneous clinical findings in different age groups. Early diagnosis is important to prevent future gender confusion and related problems.
