Funded Activity Summary

Children born with a disorder of sex development (DSD) may differ from typical males or females in their chromosomes, hormones or reproductive organs, sometimes resulting in infertility or gonadal cancer. DSDs are the most common birth defect and yet, most cases are unexplained genetically. I hope to identify new genes needed for gonad formation that cause DSD when mutated. This work will provide answers as to how DSDs arise, and allow informed decision-making regarding possible treatments.
