FOXL2 and SOX9 as parameters of female and male gonadal differentiation in patients with various forms of disorders of sex development (DSD)

Abstract excerpt
The transcription factors SOX9 and FOXL2 are required for male and female mammalian gonadal development. We have used specific antibodies to investigate the role of these key proteins in disorders of sex development (DSD), specifically inter-sex states. In normal gonads, SOX9 was found to be restricted to the presence of (pre-)Sertoli cells, while FOXL2 was found in granulosa cells, and in stromal cells...
