46,XY disorders of sex development (46,XY DSD) are characterized by ambiguous or female external genitalia, caused by incomplete intrauterine masculinization, and the presence or absence of Mullerian structures. Several enzymatic defects that result in insufficient production of testosterone have been reported. And impaired differentiation of Leydig cell, which secretes testosterone, can lead to 46,XY DSD.
