Abstract excerpt
Distal chromosome 9p contains a locus that, when deleted, is a cause of 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis in the absence of extragenital anomalies. This locus might account for the frequently observed cases of 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis who do not harbor mutations in SRY, the sex master regulator gene found in mammalian species. The genomic organization of 9p positional candidate genes is currently being studied and...
