  1. Children with 46,XY DSD were affected by partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, partial gonadal dysgenesis, or an unknown cause. #Children with 46,XX DSD were affected by congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency or transposition of Sry onto the X chromosome. For children who received genitoplasty later than 12 mos of age, mean age for surgery was 22.8 mos ( mos).
