Hereditary Male Pseudohermaphroditism Associated with an Unstable Form of 5α-Reductase

Abstract

The properties of 5α-reductase have been compared in genital skin fibroblasts cultured from five patients from three families (Los Angeles, Dallas, and Dominican Republic) in which hereditary male pseudohermaphroditism has been established to result from deficient conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
