A novel missense mutation in HSD17B3 gene in a 46, XY adolescent presenting with primary amenorrhea and virilization at puberty.

Abstract excerpt

Deficiency of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type3 (17β-HSD3) isoenzyme which catalyzes the synthesis of testosterone from Δ4-androstenedione, is the cause of 46, XY disorders of sex development (DSD). 17β-HSD3 deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which is caused by mutations in the HSD17B gene found on chromosome 9q22. Up to now, almost 33 mutations in the HSD17B3 gene have been reported. Here,...
