S A Greene, E Symes, C G Brook

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |September 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes a male infant with male pseudohermaphroditism caused by 5-alpha-reductase deficiency. This rare genetic condition, previously documented mainly in America, is now identified in siblings from Pakistan.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Male pseudohermaphroditism is a disorder of sex development.
    • 5-alpha-reductase deficiency is a rare genetic cause of male pseudohermaphroditism.

    Observation:

    • The study describes an infant with male pseudohermaphroditism due to 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.
    • This infant is the elder of two affected male siblings from Pakistan.

    Findings:

    • This represents the first documented cases of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency in male pseudohermaphroditism from Pakistan.
    • The patients are the first described outside of America.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the known geographic distribution of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.
    • Further research may elucidate potential genetic or environmental factors contributing to this condition in the Pakistani population.
