Improving the diagnosis of Disorders Sex Development (DSD) [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

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 use our expertise in human genetics, molecular cell 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.
