NR5A1 Mutation in 46,XY Disorders of Sex Development Combined with Obesity and Hyperinsulinemia: A Case Report

doi:10.12280/gjfckx.20230049

Abstract

Abstract:

46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital disorder in which the genetic sex, phenotypic sex, and gonadal sex is inconsistent, and the key to confirming the diagnosis of the disorder is genetic testing. A retrospective analysis of a patient with 46,XY DSD, who was female by gender and was seen for abnormal gonadal development found on physical examination. The patient 46,XY DSD was combined with obesity and hyperinsulinemia, and the causative gene was steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1 or NR5A1) with mutation locus c.1095_1096insTCGG (p.Q366Sfs*22), which was genetically analyzed, and the mutation due to this locus may be associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus. Perform laparoscopic bilateral cryptorchidism, vulvoplasty and clitoral resection to maintain the female gender of the patient. The detection of the cause from the genetic perspective may provide guidance and basis for the clinical management of 46,XY DSD.

Key words: Disorder of sex development, 46,XY, Steroidogenic factor 1, Mutation, Pediatric obesity, Hyperinsulinism
