A novel missense mutation in the HMG box region of the SRY gene in a Japanese patient with an XY sex reversal.

Abstract excerpt

The sex-determining region of the Y chromosome, the SRY gene, located on the short arm of the Y chromosome, is appreciated as one of the genes that is responsible for directing the process of sex differentiation. To date, 34 different mutations, including 29 missense and nonsense mutations in the SRY gene, have been described in XY female patients.
