    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Biology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Normal embryological development of sex determination and differentiation is complex.
    • Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) encompass a range of conditions affecting sexual development.
    • Ambiguous genitalia present diagnostic and management challenges in neonates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the normal process of sex determination and differentiation.
    • To classify abnormalities of sex differentiation.
    • To outline diagnostic and management strategies for infants with ambiguous genitalia, including gender assignment and nursing care.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of embryological processes.
    • Classification of DSD based on established criteria.
