Abstract
5α-reductase 2 deficiency prevents testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone, which causes abnormal urogenital sinus development. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between genotype-phenotype, surgical selections, and postoperative complications of 5α-reductase 2-deficient patients with hypospadias. We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of patients who were diagnosed with 5α-reductase 2 deficiency after genetic testing in the Department of Endocrinology and underwent initial hypospadias surgery in the Department of Urology in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing, China), from April 2007 to December 2021. A total of 69 patients were included in this study; the mean age at surgery was 34.1 months, and the average follow-up time was 54.1 months. Sixty children were treated with preoperative hormone stimulation (PHS) to promote penile growth. The average penis length and glans width were increased by 1.46 cm and 0.62 cm, respectively. The most frequent mutations were p.R227Q (39.1%, 54/138), p.Q6* (15.2%, 21/138), p.G203S (12.3%, 17/138), and p.R246Q (11.6%, 16/138). In 64 patients who were followed up, 43 had a one-stage operation and 21 had a staged operation, and there were significant differences in external masculinization score (EMS) ( P = 0.008) and the average number of operation required to cure ( P < 0.001) between one-stage and staged operations. PHS had a positive effect ( P < 0.001) on penile development. The p.R227Q mutation was associated with higher EMS and less severe hypospadias. One-stage surgery can be selected if conditions permit. The growth and development of children are acceptable in the long term, but penis growth remains unsatisfactory. Long-term complications of hypospadias should be considered during puberty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are increased calls to address psychosocial needs among individuals with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). However, cross-cultural disparities exist in treatment practices and psychosocial outcomes that impact the generalizability of evidence-based recommendations. To date, this disparity has not been quantified. The present scoping review uses a dual approach to contrast rates of CAH diagnosis with CAH psychosocial research rates across countries. METHODS Six electronic database searches were conducted for: (1) CAH incidence/birth/prevalence rates; and (2) psychosocial research with affected individuals and their families. Two authors reviewed each abstract for inclusion criteria. RESULTS Sixty-eight and 93 full-text articles, respectively, were evaluated for incidence and country. The countries/regions with the highest reported CAH rates are Thailand, Ghana, and India. Those with the greatest portion of psychosocial publications are the USA, Germany, and the UK. CONCLUSION A discrepancy exists between those countries with the highest CAH rates and those publishing psychosocial research. Specifically, increased rates of CAH are seen in non-Western countries/regions, whereas most psychosocial research arises out of Western Europe and the USA. Due to cultural differences between these regions, increased global collaboration is needed to both inform psychosocial research and translate findings in ways that are representative worldwide.

Identification of the Rare Ala871Glu Mutation in the Androgen Receptor Gene Leading to Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome in an Adolescent Girl with Primary Amenorrhea. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 9:children9121900. [PMID: 36553343 PMCID: PMC9777019 DOI: 10.3390/children9121900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) is a rare genetic condition by mutations in the androgen receptor (AR) gene resulting in target issue resistance to androgens and a female phenotype in genetically male individuals. A 16-year-old phenotypically female individual presented to our clinic with primary amenorrhea. Her clinical evaluation showed normal female external genitalia, Tanner III breast development and sparse pubic and axillary hair (Tanner stage II). Hormonal assessment revealed increased concentrations of Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Testosterone and Antimüllerian Hormone (AMH). Image studies detected no uterus or gonads, but a blind vagina and the karyotype was 46, XY. These findings suggested the diagnosis of CAIS, and genetic testing of the AR gene revealed a rare pathogenic mutation of cytosine to adenine (c.2612C>A) replacing alanine with glutamic acid at position 871 (p.Ala871Glu) in the AR, previously described once in two adult sisters. The patient underwent gonadectomy and received hormonal replacement therapy. This study expands the AR mutation database and shows the complexity and the importance of prompt diagnosis, proper management, and follow-up for CAIS patients, underlining the need for standardized protocols.

ARCHIVES OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR 2022; 51:2065-2076. [PMID: 35467169 DOI: 10.1007/s10508-022-02339-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Little is known about gender-related stereotyping among transgender and gender expansive adults. Using the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (AIS; Glick & Fiske, 1996), we examined explicit gender attitudes in 3298 cisgender, transgender, and gender expansive respondents designated female at birth (FAB; n = 1976 cisgender, n = 108 transgender, n = 188 gender expansive) and male at birth (MAB; n = 922 cisgender, n = 52 transgender, n = 52 gender expansive). In order to learn more about implicit gender-related stereotyping, a subset of 822 participants (FAB; n = 445 cisgender, n = 32 transgender, n = 51 gender expansive. MAB; n = 254 cisgender, n = 21 transgender, n = 19 gender expansive) completed the gender-leadership Implicit Association Test (IAT; Dasgupta & Asgari, 2004). Cisgender men scored significantly higher than all other groups on hostile sexism, but patterns of endorsement for benevolent sexism and implicit attitudes were more nuanced, with cisgender women and gender expansive FAB often scoring significantly below other groups. We observed that transgender men and transgender women, along with cisgender men and gender expansive MAB, moderately endorsed essentialist views regarding differences between men and women (i.e., complementary gender differentiation). These data reveal novel patterns of gender-related stereotyping, with some corresponding to sex designated at birth and others corresponding to current gender identification. Together, these findings suggest that one's experienced gender, designated sex at birth, and the intersection between them may relate to gender stereotyping, underscoring the importance of including transgender and gender expansive individuals in this research.

Abstract
Defined as congenital conditions in which development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex is atypical, differences or disorders of sex development (DSDs) comprise many discrete diagnoses ranging from those associated with few phenotypic differences between affected and unaffected individuals to those where questions arise regarding gender of rearing, gonadal tumor risk, genital surgery, and fertility. Controversies exist in numerous areas including how DSDs are conceptualized, how to refer to the set of conditions and those affected by them, and aspects of clinical management that extend from social media to legislative bodies, courts of law, medicine, clinical practice, and scholarly research in psychology and sociology. In addition to these aspects, this review covers biological and social influences on psychosocial development and adjustment, the psychosocial and psychosexual adaptation of people born with DSDs, and roles for clinical psychologists in the clinical management of DSDs. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, Volume 18 is May 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have an increased risk of psychological/psychiatric symptoms and disorders. This study aimed to assess the behavior of girls with CAH and its independent risk variables. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 55 girls with CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (mean age 12.64 ± 1.52 years; salt-wasting (SW) form = 20, simple virilizing (SV) form = 35). Psychiatric interviewing and the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) (parent-reporting questionnaires) were used to assess behavior. RESULTS Compared to controls (n = 60), patients had a high total SDQ score (P = 0.001) and emotional, conduct, and hyperactivity-inattention symptoms, peer relationship problems (P = 0.001 for all), and prosocial behavior (p = 0.01) subscale scores, indicating externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems. Severe emotional symptoms and poor disease control were found with SW compared to the SV form. Multiple linear regression showed that bone age (BA) (β = 0.331, t = 3.608; P = 0.001) and 17-OHP (β = 0.408, t = 4.220; P = 0.001), testosterone (β = 0.348, t = 3.220; P = 0.001), and androstenedione (β = 0.238, t = 2.487; P = 0.015) levels were independently associated with behavioral problems. CONCLUSION Females with CAH had frequent and severe behavioral symptoms. Excess androgenization, which was in part due to suboptimal steroid therapy, was the cause of the behavioral problems. Therefore, early optimization of CAH management should be stressed to prevent psychological consequences.

Abstract
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a genetic condition of the steroidogenic enzymes in the adrenal cortex normally leading to variable degrees of cortisol and aldosterone deficiency as well as androgen excess. Exposure to androgens prenatally might lead to ambiguous genitalia. The fetal brain develops in traditional male direction through a direct action of androgens on the developing nerve cells, or in the traditional female direction in the absence of androgens. This may indicate that sexual development, including sexual orientation, are programmed into our brain structures prenatally. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature, investigating sexual orientation in individuals with CAH. The study also aimed at identifying which measures are used to define sexual orientation across studies. The review is based on articles identified through a comprehensive search of the OVIDMedline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases published up to May 2019. All peer-reviewed articles investigating sexual orientation in people with CAH were included. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods were considered, as well as self-, parent-, and third-party reports, and no age or language restrictions were enforced on publications. The present review included 30 studies investigating sexual orientation in patients with CAH assigned female at birth (46, XX) (n = 927) or assigned male at birth (46, XY and 46, XX) (n = 274). Results indicate that assigned females at birth (46, XX) with CAH had a greater likelihood to not have an exclusively heterosexual orientation than females from the general population, whereas no assigned males at birth (46, XY or 46, XX) with CAH identified themselves as non-heterosexual. There was a wide diversity in measures used and a preference for unvalidated and self-constructed interviews. Hence, the results need to be interpreted with caution. Methodological weaknesses might have led to non-heterosexual orientation being overestimated or underestimated. The methodological challenges identified by this review should be further investigated in future studies.

Abstract
This review summarizes research on the mental health outcomes of genetic males with a disorder of sex development (46,XY DSD). Databases were systematically searched, yielding 19 studies included in this review. Results varied widely, with mental health outcomes ranging from very poor to similar to comparison groups. A small number of studies demonstrated that patients with hypospadias or complete androgen insensitivity syndrome reported better mental health than patients with other 46,XY (DSD) diagnoses. Future studies should include larger samples of patients within a similar developmental stage, display results separately by DSD diagnosis and gender identity, and consider the potential impact of medical/surgical events on their mental health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The frequency of gender dysphoria (GD) among 46,XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) patients is unknown. These data are needed to put into perspective the debate about the timing of reconstructive surgery and possible male-raising of the most severely virilized children. OBJECTIVE To analyze the frequency of female to male GD between 46,XX individuals raised as females; to identify subgroups with higher chances of showing GD; to describe the results of male-raising among 46,XX CAH patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Analytic/descriptive literature review (January 1988 to April 2018). RESULTS Female-raised patients frequently report the desire to be male, adopt male-typical behavior and are frequently homosexual/bisexual as adults, but this does not correspond to GD. Declared GD among 46,XX CAH patients attained 9% of the reported cohorts, generally in late adolescence/adulthood. We could not prove a relationship between inadequate treatment, null-genotype, late diagnoses, a higher degree of virilization, type of CAH or higher levels of androgens and female to male GD, but this may be due to statistical limitations. Male gender raised patients (MGR) were 10.1% of CAH cohorts included in this review, mostly from underdeveloped countries, with a high proportion of late diagnoses (76.3%) and familial choices. GD was more common in this group than among female-raised patients. Opting for male gender relates to a short final height, the need for multiple surgeries, surgical castration before puberty and infertility. CONCLUSION Both male to female and female to male GD may present in 46,XX CAH patients in a contemporaneous cohort. The proportion of GD is higher among patients raised as males. DSD patients sexual maladjustments are complex and not comparable to the transgender population. Many 46,XX CAH patients with GD define themselves as gender-fluid and do not seek for legal/formal transition. Male-raising Prader 4/5 46,XX CAH patients imply infertility and multiple surgeries. There is no proof that any subgroup of CAH is more prone to GD, despite null genotypes, salt wasting phenotypes and Prader 4/5 cases being related to male-typical behavior and female homosexuality. TYPE OF STUDY Descriptive/analytic non-systematic REVIEW. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.

Abstract
Differences of sex development (DSD) include a variety of complex congenital genitourinary abnormalities-whether sporadic or hereditary. The 2006 DSD Consensus Statement and 2016 Update Consensus Statement encourage better communication among providers, between providers and parents, as well as among providers, parents, and patients when developmentally appropriate.1,2 However, a lack of clear communication about the diagnosis and its sequelae may occur at three levels: (1) disclosure from DSD patients' families to their physician, (2) disclosure from patients to their families/communities, and (3) disclosure from the physician to the DSD patient. Additionally, there is a paucity of research available on how culture can impact disclosure among individuals with DSDs. This article discusses disclosure among the various stakeholders and briefly explores the impact of cultural expectations and beliefs with regards to disclosure.
