Expanding the Phenotype of Copy Number Variations Involving NR0B1 (DAX1)

This study aims to explore the relationship between copy number variations (CNVs) involving the NR0B1 (DAX1) gene and 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a disorder of sex development caused by the failure of gonads to fully differentiate into testes. This condition can lead to individuals presenting with female or ambiguous ...
