PMID: 32493750.On the search for a genetic cause for 46,XX virilization due to testicular (TDSD) or ovotesticular DSD (OTDSD), 78 individuals were studied by whole exome sequencing. In 7 cases, heterozygous de novo variants were found in the 4th zinc finger (ZF4) of the Wilms tumor 1 gene (<em...

Brief Summary: This study significantly advances our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of congenital hypopituitarism (CH) by utilizing whole exome sequencing (WES) in a large cohort of patients from Argentina.CH is a complex and highly heterogeneous disorder that is associated with highly variable clinical phenotypes that range in severity (1). The aetiology of CH may extend beyond monogenic causes, involving oligogenic, polygenic, or multifacto...
