Phenotype-Genotype Discordance and a Case of a Disorder of Sexual Differentiation.

Discordance between the genetic sex and phenotype seen on ultrasound can identify disorders of sexual development (DSD) that previously escaped detection until puberty. We describe a 46, XY disorder of sexual differentiation caused by a rare mutation in the SF1 gene (OMIM]184757, (NR5A1). The mutation (NR5A1)-c.205C > G (p. Arg69Gly) was discovered after a phenotype-genotype discrepancy was encountered during prenatal care. The baby with 46, XY DSD has female external genitalia but evidence of Y chromosome-related regression of Müllerian structures and the absence of palpable gonads. We discussed the literature on phenotype-genotype discrepancy and the importance of care coordination between the antenatal and postnatal teams to ensure a timely diagnosis of DSD.
