The importance of performing trio (patient and parents) sequencing is crucial in pointing out the origin of inheritance. In a 46,XY differences of sex development patient, a normal adrenal function does not rule out an NR5A1 mutation. With the support of a dedicated overseas institute partnership, we could solve this complex clinical case by molecular diagnosis in a resource-limited setting.
