This review examined genetic factors in 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development and found that whole-exome sequencing is more effective than panel sequencing for molecular diagnosis. It identified regional genetic variation and emphasized next-generation sequencing's role in detecting variants related to gonadal and androgen-related genes.

This study found that feeding norethindrone acetate to albino rats over two years caused various dose-related health effects, such as growth retardation and liver changes, but did not increase overall tumor incidence.

This study found that administering spironolactone or canrenone to castrated male rats significantly decreased the availability of cytoplasmic androgen receptor binding sites, suggesting canrenone mediates spironolactone's antiandrogenic effects in skin.

This study found that Turner’s syndrome is associated with significant bone mass decrease due to estrogen deficiency, which can be improved with estrogen therapy, while bone issues in Klinefelter’s syndrome may benefit from early androgen therapy and possibly bisphosphonates.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
