Funded Activity Summary

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) are surprisingly common, however the majority of cases still cannot be explained. Our hypothesis is that a significant proportion of DSD is due to disturbed gene regulation. We will use state of the art methods to analyse the regulation of DSD genes. Our research will improve our knowledge of the regulation of genes that affect DSD and provide a diagnosis for DSD patients for whom the underlying cause is unknown. This in turn will improve clinical management.
