Disorders of Sex Development: New Approaches to Inform Clinical Care. [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andrew Sinclair (Principal investigator)

Brief description My research career has focused on identifying the causes of disorders of sex development (DSD) which often result from failure of the testis or ovary to develop properly. These conditions are particularly hard to diagnose making their clinical management extremely difficult. I have developed a new (genomic) test that has improved diagnostic rates in DSD patients from 13% to 43%. This dramatic increase diagnosis has greatly facilitated clinical management and improved patient outcomes.
