The novel p.E89K mutation in the SRY gene inhibits DNA binding and causes the 46,XY disorder of sex development

Male sex determination in humans is controlled by the SRY gene, which encodes a transcriptional regulator containing a conserved high mobility group box domain (HMG-box) required for DNA binding. Mutations in the SRY HMG-box affect protein function, causing sex reversal phenotypes. In the present st...
