Oligogenic analysis across broad phenotypes of 46,XY differences in sex development associated with NR5A1/SF-1 variants: findings from the international SF1next studyResearch in context

Summary: Background: Oligogenic inheritance has been suggested as a possible mechanism to explain the broad phenotype observed in individuals with differences of sex development (DSD) harbouring NR5A1/SF-1 variants.Methods: We investigated genetic patterns of possible oligogenicity in a cohort of 30 individuals with NR5A1/SF-1 variants and 46,XY DS
