OMIA:001709-8090 : Difference of sexual development, DMRT1-related in Oryzias latipes (Japanese medaka)

In other species: rabbit , tongue sole

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 602424 (gene)

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: yes

Year key variant first reported: 2012

Cross-species summary: This is a type of XY difference of sexual development (XY DSD) due to variants in the DMRT1 gene. Renamed from 'XY Ovotesticular DSD (Disorder of Sexual Development), DMRT1-related' [29/09/2023]

Molecular basis: Masuyama et al. (2012) reported a mutation in the DMRT1 gene that results in chromosomally XY (male) medaka fish developing "into normal females and [laying] eggs". They further reported that "The mutant phenotype could be rescued by transgenesis of the Dmrt1 genomic region."

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Pathology: "Histological analyses of this mutant revealed that the XY mutant gonads first developed into the normal testis type. However, the gonads transdifferentiated into the ovary type." (Masuyama et al., 2012)
