Understanding genetic causes of differences in sex development
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetic and physical traits of people with 46,XY DSD (differences in sex development). It aims to better understand the causes and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a 46,XY chromosome pattern and a condition called DSD
- You had signs of ambiguous genitalia before age 18
- You were diagnosed before turning 18 years old
- You were seen at the participating hospital in Bologna or another center
- You or your guardian give permission to join the study

This study is for people who have a rare syndrome or rare congenital condition and are seen at a rare-disease clinic. It aims to better understand these conditions and how care works in a team setting, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
This trial looks for “structural variants,” meaning larger DNA rearrangements that standard gene tests may miss, in boys with certain differences in sex development (DSD) when results are unclear. It may help provide a clearer diagnosis that can guide care for your family.
This study looks for genetic causes of differences in how a baby or child’s sex organs develop, including hypospadias. You may be able to join if doctors can’t find a reason using standard testing.
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
This study looks at the genetic and physical health of babies and children who have a sex chromosome disorder (like having an extra or missing X or Y chromosome). It also compares them to children without these conditions. The goal is to learn more about how these disorders affect development.
This study looks for new genetic causes of certain “development disorders” that involve hormone problems and how the body develops at puberty. It may help families understand the root cause, which can guide future care and testing.
