Disorders of Sex Development: Genetics, Diagnosis, Informing Clinical Care [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andrew Sinclair (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Peter Koopman ,  Prof Vincent Harley

Brief description Disorders of sexual development (DSDs) are surprisingly common, and often result in genital abnormalities, gender mis-assignment, infertility and psychological trauma. We will pool our expertise in human genetics, molecular and developmental biology, to find genes important for sex development, identify gene defects that cause DSD, and study their functions. We will liaise with clinicians to apply these findings to the accurate diagnosis and medical care of DSD in children.
