Heterozygous Missense Mutations in Steroidogenic Factor 1 (SF1/Ad4BP, NR5A1) Are Associated with 46,XY Disorders of Sex Development with Normal Adrenal Function
2 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1/AdBP4/FTZF1, NR5A1) is a nuclear receptor transcription factor that plays a key role in regulating adrenal and gonadal development, steroidogenesis, and reproduction. Targeted deletion of Nr5a1 (Sf1) in the mouse results in adrenal and gonadal agenesis, XY sex-reversal, and persistent Müllerian structures in males. Consistent with the murine phenotype, human mutations in SF1...
