Male pseudohermaphroditism caused by steroid 5␣-reductase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder. The enzyme steroid 5␣-reductase 2 (encoded by the SRD5A2 gene) catalyses the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which is required for normal differentiation of the external male g
This report describes the identification of a point mutation in the 5␣-reductase type 2 (5␣-SR2) gene from a family in which both sibs (6 and 3 years old) have steroid 5␣-reductase 2 deficiency. The five exons of the gene were individually amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analyse
The molecular basis of a patient with 5␣reductase deficiency was investigated in this study. This disease is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism with virilization during puberty. The child was raised as a girl, but had a male gender identity early in life. The diagnosis was set at the age of 1
