Causes
HSD17B3 gene mutation causes 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency results a decrease in testestrone production. The reduction of testestrone affects the development of male reproductive tract which results phenotypically female or ambigious external genitalia. At puberty, in some of affected individuals, the production of testosterone rises through conversion of androstenedione to testosterone in different tissues of the body involving other enzymes. The increase in testosterone level results in the development of male secondary sex characteristics in adolescents.
