We performed systematic molecular analysis of 173 patients with disorders of sex development (DSD). Remarkable findings include: (1)Identification of a splice site mutation of MAMLD1 in a patient with hypospadias. (2)Identification of genetic alterations in SOX9 and its flanking region in 3 patients with 46,XY DSD without campomelic dysplasia. (3)Identification of causative gene mutations in 8 patients with hypospadias. (4)Identification of copy number gain of SOX3 in DSD-negative females. (5)Identification of copy number variations at azoospermia-related region in patients with hypospadias. (6)Identification of identical NR5A1 mutations in two 46,XX individuals with testicular tissues. The findings from (1) to (5) were published in scientific journals, and (6) was submitted.
