About 46,XX disorder of sex development-anorectal anomalies syndrome

What is 46,XX disorder of sex development-anorectal anomalies syndrome?

46,XX disorder of sex development-anorectal anomalies syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the reproductive organs and the anus. It is caused by a mutation in the SRY gene, which is responsible for the development of male sex characteristics. Symptoms of this disorder include ambiguous genitalia, anorectal malformations, and a variety of other physical and developmental abnormalities. Treatment typically involves surgery to correct the malformations and hormone therapy to help with the development of secondary sex characteristics.
