Introduction The conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone is catalyzed by the 5α-
reductase type 2 enzyme which plays a crucial role in the external genitalia virilization. It is …

α-Reductase type 2 enzyme catalyzes the conversion of testosterone into
dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen responsible for male sexual development during the …

The 5α-reductase type 2 enzyme catalyzes the conversion of testosterone into
dihydrotestosterone, playing a crucial role in male development. This enzyme is encoded by …

Deficiency of the 5α‐reductase 2 enzyme impairs the conversion of testosterone to
dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and differentiation of external genitalia, seminal vesicles and …

Steroid 5α‐reductase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations
in the SRD5A2‐gene, resulting in diminished dihydrotestosterone (DHT) formation and …

Background The 5α-reductase type 2 (5α-RD2) deficiency caused by mutations in the
steroid 5α-reductase 2 (SRD5A2) gene results in variable degrees of undervirilisation in …

The aim of this article is to review the literature on steroid 5alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency
(5α-RD2) to provide clinicians with information to guide their management of patients with …

Introduction: 5a-Steroid reductase deficiency (5aSRD) is an autosomal recessive enzymatic
deficiency. Mutations in the 5a-steroid reductase type 2 gene (SRD5A2) result in male …

abstract Context: In 46, XY disorders of sex development, 5α-reductase deficiency is rare
and is not usually the first-intention diagnosis in newborn ambiguous genitalia, contrary to …

Steroid 5α‐reductase (5αR) deficiency (OMIM number# 264600) is a rare 46, XY disorder of
sex differentiation caused by mutations in the 5αR type 2 gene (SRD5A2) resulting in …
