- Cytogenomic Investigation of Syndromic Brazilian Patients with Differences of Sexual Development(2023) JR, Jose Antonio Diniz Faria; MORAES, Daniela R.; KULIKOWSKI, Leslie Domenici; BATISTA, Rafael Loch; GOMES, Nathalia Lisboa; NISHI, Mirian Yumie; ZANARDO, Evelin; NONAKA, Carolina Kymie Vasques; SOUZA, Bruno Solano de Freitas; MENDONCA, Berenice Bilharinho; DOMENICE, SorahiaBackground: Cytogenomic methods have gained space in the clinical investigation of patients with disorders/differences in sexual development (DSD). Here we evaluated the role of the SNP array in achieving a molecular diagnosis in Brazilian patients with syndromic DSD of unknown etiology. Methods: Twenty-two patients with DSD and syndromic features were included in the study and underwent SNP-array analysis. Results: In two patients, the diagnosis of 46,XX SRY + DSD was established. Additionally, two deletions were revealed (3q29 and Xp22.33), justifying the syndromic phenotype in these patients. Two pathogenic CNVs, a 10q25.3-q26.2 and a 13q33.1 deletion encompassing the FGFR2 and the EFNB2 gene, were associated with genital atypia and syndromic characteristics in two patients with 46,XY DSD. In a third 46,XY DSD patient, we identified a duplication in the 14q11.2-q12 region of 6.5 Mb associated with a deletion in the 21p11.2-q21.3 region of 12.7 Mb. In a 46,XY DSD patient with delayed neuropsychomotor development and congenital cataracts, a 12 Kb deletion on chromosome 10 was found, partially clarifying the syndromic phenotype, but not the genital atypia. Conclusions: The SNP array is a useful tool for DSD patients, identifying the molecular etiology in 40% (2/5) of patients with 46,XX DSD and 17.6% (3/17) of patients with 46,XY DSD.

The expression of different miRNAs in many organs of the male genital system has been reported, and these miRNAs have been associated with testicular function and its disorders, but no description has been related to DSD conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the plasma expression of miR-210 in 46,XY DSD patients who presented atypical genitalia at birth. Methods: Eighteen 46,XY DSD patients who presented atypical genitalia (undescended testis and/or hypospadias, bifid scrotum or micropenis) at birth and 36 male control individuals were selected. Plasma levels of miR-210 and reference miR-23a were measured using RT-qPCR and the data were analysed by the 2(-Delta Ct) method. Results: MiR-210 plasma levels were significantly higher in 46,XY DSD patients with atypical genitalia than in male control subjects (p = 0.0024). A positive association between miR-210 levels and the presence of cryptorchidism and hypospadias (p = 0.0146 and p = 0.0223) was found in these patients. Significantly higher levels of miR-210 were observed in patients with 46,XY DSD and cryptorchidism than in control subjects (p = 0.0118). These results are in agreement with previous literature reports, in which increased levels of miR-210 expression were observed in human testicular tissue from adult males with undescended testes in comparison with samples of descended testes. Conclusion: Our study showed a positive association between the presence of atypical genitalia and plasma levels of miR-210 expression in the group of patients with 46,XY DSD of unknown aetiology studied. These findings contribute to reveal a new perspective on the role of miRNAs in the development of male external genitalia and the broad spectrum of phenotypes presented by patients with 46,XY DSD.
- Sexuality and fertility desire in a large cohort of individuals with 46, XY differences in sex development(2023) BATISTA, Rafael Loch; INACIO, Marlene; BRITO, Vinicius Nahime; SIRCILI, Maria Helena Palma; BAG, Min Jeong; GOMES, Nathalia Lisboa; COSTA, Elaine Maria Frade; DOMENICE, Sorahia; MENDONCA, Berenice BilharinhoObjective: To analyze aspects of sexual life and fertility desire among 46, XY DSD people, including those who changed their gender. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study including 127 adults (> 16 years of age) with 46, XY DSD (83 females; 44 males) from a Single Brazilian Tertiary-Care Medical Center. Results: Sexual fantasies and masturbation were more frequent in 46, XY DSD males, whereas orgasm and sexual life satisfaction were similar in both genders. More 46, XY DSD men than women had a long-term romantic relationship. 46, XY DSD women with prenatal androgen exposure reported more fear of being romantically rejected. External genitalia appearance at birth did not impact the sexuality of 46, XY DSD women after surgical genital treatment had been completed. Overall, the sexual life was similar between 46, XY men assigned as males and those who changed to the male gender. Regarding sexual orientation, most self-reported as heterosexual (91% and 92% of women and men, respectively). The desire for fertility had a similar prevalence in both genders, but more women than men considered infertility a barrier to a long-term romantic relationship. Twelve individuals (7 males) had children; 10 out of 12 have adopted children. Conclusion: Fertility desire was shared among 46, XY DSD people, regardless of gender. Prenatal androgen exposure reduced the desire for motherhood in 46, XY women. 46, XY DSD people who changed from female to male gender presented similar sexual parameters as those assigned as males. Among females, virilized genitalia at birth did not affect sexuality once the surgical treatment is completed.
