Why boys will be boys: two pathways of fetal testicular androgen biosynthesis are needed for male sexual differentiation.

American journal of human genetics - 12 Aug 2011

Flück Christa E, Meyer-Böni Monika, Pandey Amit V, Kempná Petra, Miller Walter L, Schoenle Eugen J, Biason-Lauber Anna

Abstract excerpt

Human sexual determination is initiated by a cascade of genes that lead to the development of the fetal gonad. Whereas development of the female external genitalia does not require fetal ovarian hormones, male genital development requires the action of testicular testosterone and its more potent...
