发现单一的DNA突变会触发女性胚胎中男性发展, 这挑战了性别仅由染色体决定的观点. Bar-Ilan researchers found a single DNA mutation triggers male development in female embryos, challenging the idea that sex is solely determined by chromosomes.

巴伊兰大学的研究人员发现,一个非编码区域中的单一DNA突变可以触发女性胚胎中男性发展, 挑战性别仅由染色体决定. Researchers at Bar-Ilan University discovered a single DNA mutation in a noncoding region can trigger male development in female embryos, challenging the idea that sex is solely determined by chromosomes. 这项发表在"自然通讯"杂志上的研究表明,改变一种名为Enh13的基因导致XX小鼠丸形成,突出显示了非编码DNA在人类生物学中的关键作用以及性发展障碍的潜在治疗方法. The study, published in Nature Communications, showed altering a gene called Enh13 caused testis formation in XX mice, highlighting the critical role of noncoding DNA in human biology and potential treatments for sexual development disorders.
