    This study reports on a 46,XY individual with ambiguous genitalia and hypoplastic testes. Reduced H-Y antigen expression is speculated to cause abnormal gonad development in this case of DSD.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) encompass a range of conditions where typical sex development is atypical.
    • The H-Y antigen plays a crucial role in male sex determination and gonad development.

    Observation:

    • A 46,XY infant presented with ambiguous genitalia and intraabdominal hypoplastic testes.
    • Germ cells were present in the left gonad but absent in the right; Leydig cells appeared normal.
    • No evidence of mosaicism or steroidogenesis disorders was found.

    Findings:

    • Serologic evaluation indicated the presence of H-Y antigen, but at reduced levels compared to normal males.
    • The patient underwent gonadectomy and clitoral recession, and was raised as female.

    Implications:

    • Reduced H-Y antigen expression may be a contributing factor to aberrant gonad development in 46,XY individuals.
    • This case highlights the complex genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying Disorders of Sex Development.
    • Further research into androgen receptor function and H-Y antigen regulation is warranted.
