  • Title: Male pseudohermaphroditism with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency: report of two new familial cases. The importance of early diagnosis.

    Abstract:
    We report two new familial cases of male pseudohermaphroditism due to 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, from the south of Spain. They were born with ambiguous genitalia and were reared as females. At the time of puberty, both brothers virilized partially and underwent a change of gender role from female to male with a stormy psychic readjustment period. We stress the value of the prolonged chorionic gonadotropin test for an early diagnosis.
