The intersection of disorders of sex development and cardiovascular diseases
Our findings suggest a genetic link between 46 XY DSD and CVD, indicating that shared molecular mechanisms may play a role in the development of both conditions. These insights into the connections could have important implications for personalized medicine, potentially allowing for treatments that target both 46 XY DSD and CVD.
