Sexual differentiation and pubertal development are complex processes whose disruption leads to the abnormal development of primary and/or secondary sexual characteristics. Although mutations in several genes have been implicated in these disorders, the majority of the patients still lack a molecular genetic diagnosis. The aim of this thesis work was to identify genetic defects underlying complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) and gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty (GDPP), in Finnish and Danish patients. The genetic cause of CAIS was investigated in two siblings without identified mutations in the androgen receptor gene (AR). Whole-genome sequencing and AR cDNA analysis reveal...
