Copy number variation of two separate regulatory regions upstream of <i>SOX9</i> causes isolated 46,XY or 46,XX disorder of sex development
20 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SOX9 mutations cause the skeletal malformation syndrome campomelic dysplasia in combination with XY sex reversal. Studies in mice indicate that SOX9 acts as a testis-inducing transcription factor downstream of SRY, triggering Sertoli cell and testis differentiation. An SRY-dependent testis-specific enhancer for Sox9 has been identified only in mice. A previous study has implicated copy number...
