Title:SOX9 duplication linked to intersex in deer
Creators Name:Kropatsch, R., Dekomien, G., Akkad, D.A., Gerding, W.M., Petrasch-Parwez, E., Young, N.D., Altmüller, J., Nürnberg, P., Gasser, R.B. and Epplen, J.T.
Abstract:A complex network of genes determines sex in mammals. Here, we studied a European roe deer with an intersex phenotype that was consistent with a XY genotype with incomplete male-determination. Whole genome sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR analyses revealed a triple dose of the SOX9 gene, allowing insights into a new genetic defect in a wild animal.
