Informations about the disease
Disturbed testis development can lead to complete 46XY gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome), in which affected individuals have female reproductive structures in terms of external and also some internal genitalia. Therefore, patients usually grow up as girls and have female gender identity. In most of the patients, the cause remains unknown, but variants in the SRY gene are found in about 15% of cases. Impaired testicular development is also observed in the presence of other gene variants, e.g. in the MAP3K1 gene (in up to 18% of cases), in the DHH, NR0B1, NR5A1 and less frequently in other genes. Most cases of Swyer syndrome are not inherited but arise from de novo gene variants that occur during oocyte or sperm formation or in early embryonic development. SRY-related disorders are usually caused by a new variant. Yet, some individuals with Swyer syndrome inherit an altered SRY gene from the unaffected father, who has a mosaic for the variant. When the syndrome is associated with a MAP3K1 or NR5A1 gene variant, the disease is also usually caused by a novel variant, rarely by an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Variants in the DHH gene can transmit the disease in an autosomal recessive manner. Variants in the above and many other genes can also cause other 46XY disorders of sex development, syndromal or non-syndromal with all known classical inheritance patterns. MAP3K1 and NR5A1 mutations are comparatively more frequently observed in this regard (10-15% or more), while all other causes are rare. The diagnostic yield of molecular genetics is still largely unknown, so that a negative result by no means excludes the clinical diagnosis.
