In other species: domestic cat , goat

Categories: Reproductive system phene

Possibly relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) (MIM number): 261550 (trait)

Links to MONDO diseases:

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: yes

Cross-species summary: This is a type of XY difference of sexual development (XY DSD). The condition is characterized by the persistence of Müllerian derivatives (uterus and/or fallopian tubes) in otherwise normally virilized males (modified from [Orphanet:2856]).

Species-specific name: Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome

Species-specific symbol: PMDS

Species-specific description: Information related to persistent Mullerian duct syndrome due to AMHR2 variants previously listed here has been moved to OMIA:002775-9615 Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome, AMHR2-related [20/09/2023].

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Breeds: Basset Hound (Dog) (VBO_0200126), Belgian Shepherd Dog, Malinois (Dog) (VBO_0200147), German Shepherd Dog (Dog) (VBO_0200577).
