Table 4.

Classification of DSDs, in particular 46,XX DSDs that can result in virilization or male phenotype (18).

DSD category Examples Karyotype or genes involved
Sex chromosome DSD Klinefelter’s syndrome 47,XXY and variants/mosaics
Turner’s syndrome 45,XO and variants/mosaics
Ovotesticular DSD 46,XX/46,XY chimerism
46,XY DSD Disorders of androgen action (androgen insensitivity syndrome) AR
Disorders of androgen biosynthesis CYP11A1, HSD3B2, CYP17A1, StAR, HSD17B3, SRD5A2, POR
Disorders of testicular development (ovotesticular DSD, testis regression) DHH, SRY, SF1, WT1, SOX9
Other syndromic associations of male genital development, isolated hypospadias, cryptorchidism CXorf6, INSL3, GREAT
46,XX DSD Disorders of ovarian development (ovotesticular DSD, testicular DSD) SRY, RSPO1, dup SOX3, dup SOX9*
Disorders of androgen excess – fetal (congenital adrenal hyperplasia), feto placental (aromatase deficiency) and maternal (virilizing tumors e.g. luteomas) HSD3B2, CYP21A2, CYP11B1, POR, CYP19
Other syndromic associations (e.g. cloacal anomalies), Mullerian agenesis/hypoplasia, uterine abnormalities, vaginal atresia (e.g. McKusick-Kaufman), labial adhesions MKKS
