Gonadal sex determination is a complex genetic process by which an embryonic primordium is driven to form an ovary or a testis, which requires a delicate dosage balance involving many genes. Disruption in this molecular pathway can lead to differences of sex development (DSD). Although some genetic mechanisms leading to 46,XY DSD have been elucidated, little is known about copy-number variation (CNV) causing testicular or ovotesticular 46,XX DSD. We describe a 20-year natural history of a man with SRY -negative 46,XX who was born with atypical male external genitalia, aortic coarctation, and bilateral blepharophimosis-ptosis. The molecular study identified a de novo heterozygous 3-Mb 15q26.2 deletion, a gene-poor locus containing NR2F2 , which encodes the nuclear receptor COUP-TFII that is highly expressed in ovary and cardiac arteries. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the low COUP-TFII expression on his ovotestis tissue. Monosomy of 15q26.2, encompassing the NR2F2 gene, may act as a Z-factor regulating the male sex determination negatively. This finding supports a novel type of CNV resulting in DSD in an individual who developed male puberty spontaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
