| Research Abstract |
Testis development in mammals begins with the activation of Y-linked Sry gene, which triggers a cascade of events that lead to male pathway. To clarify the regulation mechanism of testis differentiation, we investigated the epigenetic change of the gonadal development of a unique mouse carrying Y^<pos> that showed sex reversal with true hermaphrodites, and clinical case with disorder of sex differentiation(DSD) patient. We showed that the profiles of methylation and acetylation of SRY gene and revealed some of causation of diversity of DSD.
