| Research Abstract |
The aim of the present study was to clarify the molecular basis of reproduction failure. We performed systematic mutation screening and genome-wide copy number analyses for patients with disorders of sex development (DSD), gonadotropin deficiency, and precocious puberty. Our results include; 1) Mutations in known causative genes account for only a small fraction of the etiology of 46,XY DSD and gonadotropin deficiency. 2) FGF8 haploinsufficiency may underlie thyroid dysfunction and cardiac anomalies. 3) Cryptic genomic rearrangements constitute rare causes of 46,XY, DSD. 4) Genomic rearrangements leading to aromatase excess syndrome (AEXS) are caused by recombination- and replication-based mechanisms. 5) Hypogonadism in patients with AEXS is ascribed to the negative-feedback effect of estrogens on FSH secretion. 6) Adrenal androgens serve as the major source of estrogens in prepubertal patients with AEXS. 7) SOX2 mutations are associated with a broad phenotypic variation.
