Abstract

Context: In 46, XY disorders of sex development, 5 alpha-reductase deficiency is rare and is not usually the first-intention diagnosis in newborn ambiguous genitalia, contrary to partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. Yet the cause of ambiguous genitalia may guide sex assignment, and rapid, precise diagnosis of 5 alpha-reductase deficiency is essential.
