    Our findings suggest heterozygous DHH gene variants are unlikely to cause DSD, reaffirming that DHH is an autosomal recessive cause of 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis.

    Functional analysis of novel desert hedgehog gene variants improves the clinical interpretation of genomic data and provides a more accurate diagnosis for patients with 46,XY differences of sex development.

    Study describes two patients diagnosed with gonadal dysgenesis (GD), both harboring novel DHH compound heterozygous mutations p.[Tyr176*];[Asn337Lysfs*24] and p.[Tyr176*];[Glu212Lys]. While p.(Glu212Lys) retained 50% of its activity and led to a partially abolished DHH auto-processing, p.(Asn337Lysfs*24) resulted in a complete absence of auto-proteolysis.

    In vitro functional characterization of the novel DHH mutations p.(Asn337Lysfs*24) and p.(Glu212Lys) associated with gonadal dysgenesis.

    Whole-exome sequencing revealed a homozygous variant in DHH leading to the p.Trp173Cys substitution. The relevant Trp residue is conserved, and its alteration was predicted to be deleterious. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the mutation increases the conformational flexibility of the protein

    We found no significant correlation between the expression of SOX9 and desert hedgehog, and neither SOX9 nor desert hedgehog expression was correlated to the histoprognostic grade in sarcomas.

    SOX9 expression increases with malignant potential in tumors from patients with neurofibromatosis 1 and is not correlated to desert hedgehog.
