OBJECTIVES: Nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1 (NR5A1) is a transcription factor critical for the development of various organs. Pathogenic variants in NR5A1 are associated with a spectrum of disorders of sex development (DSD).
CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-month-old baby, raised as a girl, was referred for genital swelling and ambiguous genitalia. Born to healthy consanguineous parents, the baby had a phallus, perineal hypospadias, labial fusion, and a hypoplastic scrotum. Hormonal evaluation showed normal levels, and ultrasonography revealed small gonads and absence of Müllerian derivatives. Post-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) testing indicated an adequate testosterone response. The karyotype was 46,XY, and in it was found a homozygous NR5A1 variant (c.307 C>T, p.Arg103Trp) in a custom 46 XY DSD gene panel. Notably, the patient exhibited complete sex reversal, hyposplenia, and no adrenal insufficiency.
CONCLUSIONS: Previously, NR5A1 pathogenic variants were considered to be dominantly inherited, and homozygous cases were thought to be associated with adrenal insufficiency. Despite the homozygous pathogenic variant, our patient showed hyposplenism with normal adrenal function; this highlights the complexity of NR5A1 genotype-phenotype correlations. These patients should be monitored for adrenal insufficiency and DSD as well as splenic function.
