    Psychosexual Aspects, Effects of Prenatal Androgen Exposure, and Gender Change in 46,XY Disorders of Sex Development
    (2019) BATISTA, Rafael Loch; INACIO, Marlene; ARNHOLD, Ivo Jorge Prado; GOMES, Nathalia Lisboa; FARIA JR., Jose Antonio Diniz; MORAES, Daniela Rodrigues de; COSTA, Elaine Maria Frade; DOMENICE, Sorahia; MENDONCA, Berenice Bilharinho
    Context: In 46,XY disorders of sexual development (DSD) patients, several factors may affect psychosexual development, leading to gender identity discrepancy and gender change later in life. Prenatal sexual steroid exposure and external genital virilization are considered to influence human psychosexual development, but their roles not completely understood yet. Design: A total of 144 individuals (18 to 60 years of age) with a clinical/molecular diagnosis of 46,XY DSD from a single tertiary center were enrolled. Psychosexual outcomes (gender role, gender identity, and sexual orientation) were assessed using questionnaires and psychological test. The Sinnecker score was used for genital virilization measurement. Prenatal androgen exposure was estimated according to 46,XY DSD etiology. Results: We found a positive association between prenatal androgen exposure and male psychosexual outcomes. Alternatively, prenatal estrogen exposure, age of gonadectomy, and the degree of external genital virilization did not influence any psychosexual outcome. There were 19% (n = 27) with gender change, which was associated with prenatal androgen exposure (P < 0.001) but not with the external genital virilization. The median age of gender change was 15 years, but most of the patients reported the desire for gender change earlier. Conclusions: Prenatal androgen exposure influenced psychosexual development in 46,XY DSD favoring male psychosexuality in all psychosexual outcomes, whereas the degree of external genital virilization did not influence these outcomes. The organizational effect of sexual steroids on psychosexuality at puberty appears to be weak in comparison with the prenatal effects. Prenatal androgen exposure also influenced female-to-male gender change frequency. All 46,XY DSD conditions with prenatal androgen exposure must be followed for gender issues in their management.

    A 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development caused by a Wilms' tumour Factor-1 (WT1) pathogenic variant
    (2019) GOMES, Nathalia L.; PAULA, Leila C. P. de; SILVA, Juliana M.; SILVA, Thatiana E.; LERARIO, Antonio M.; NISHI, Mirian Y.; BATISTA, Rafael L.; FARIA JUNIOR, Jose A. D.; MORAES, Daniela; COSTA, Elaine M. F.; HEMESATH, Tatiana P.; GUARAGNA-FILHO, Guilherme; LEITE, Julio C. L.; CARVALHO, Clarissa G.; DOMENICE, Sorahia; COSTA, Eduardo C.; MENDONCA, Berenice B.
    Molecular diagnosis is rarely established in 46,XX testicular (T) disorder of sex development (DSD) individuals with atypical genitalia. The Wilms' tumour factor-1 (WT1) gene is involved in early gonadal development in both sexes. Classically, WT1 deleterious variants are associated with 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSD) because of gonadal dysgenesis. We report a novel frameshift WT1 variant identified in an SRY-negative 46,XX testicular DSD girl born with atypical genitalia. Target massively parallel sequencing involving DSD-related genes identified a novel heterozygous WT1 c.1453_1456del; p.Arg485Glyfs*14 variant located in the fourth zinc finger of the protein which is absent in the population databases. Segregation analysis and microsatellite analysis confirmed the de novo status of the variant that is predicted to be deleterious by in silico tools and to increase WT1 target activation in crystallographic model. This novel and predicted activating frameshift WT1 variant leading to the 46,XX testicular DSD phenotype includes the fourth zinc-finger DNA-binding domain defects in the genetic aetiology of 46,XX DSD.
