Predicting Gonadal Germ Cell Cancer in People with Disorders of Sex Development; Insights from Developmental Biology
The risk of gonadal germ cell cancer (GGCC) is increased in selective subgroups, amongst others, defined patients with disorders of sex development (DSD). The increased risk is due to the presence of part of the Y chromosome, i.e., GonadoBlastoma on Y chromosome GBY region, as well as anatomical loc...
