MeSH Tree Location(s) for Disorders of Sex Development

Scope Note:
In gonochoristic organisms, congenital conditions in which development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is atypical. Effects from exposure to abnormal levels of GONADAL HORMONES in the maternal environment, or disruption of the function of those hormones by ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS are included.

Förklaring:
Avvikelser i utvecklingen av könskörtlarna, fortplantningssystemet och de yttre könsorganen. Rubbningar av könsdifferentieringen beror på genetiska defekter eller endokrin obalans. Könsbestämmande gener styr gonadkönet, medan fostrets testikelhormoner avgör det somatiska könet under könsdifferentieringen.
