Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sex difference is established by genetic and endocrine regulations. We studied a large number (~1,000) of patient samples by next generation sequencing and array CGH analysis, and identified BHLHA9 as the novel genetic factor as well as the relevance of oligogenecity, and MAMLD1 and PROKR1 as the novel endocrine factors as well as the presence of an alternative androgen production route called backdoor pathway. We also clarified the essential role of gnih and other genes for the production of brain steroids (e.g., 7α-hydroxypregnenolone and estrogens) in the establishment of sex difference in reproductive, aggressive, and autonomous behaviors
