Abstract excerpt
SRY gene is responsible for initiating male sexual differentiation. The protein encoded by SRY contains a homeobox (HMG) domain, which is a DNA-binding domain. Mutations of the SRY gene are reported to be associated with XY pure gonadal dysgenesis. The majority of these are de novo mutations affecting only one individual in a family. Only a small subset of mutations is shared between the father and one or more of...
