Abstract excerpt
Transporter-dependent steroid hormone uptake into target cells was demonstrated in genetically engineered mice and fruit flies. We hypothesized that mutations in such transporters may cause differences in sex development (DSD) in humans. Exome sequencing was performed in 16 genetically unsolved cases of 46,XY DSD selected from an anonymized collection of 708 lines of genital fibroblasts (GF) that were taken from...
