The diagnosis of 5α-reductase deficiency was proven in two prepubertal patients with male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH). Both had a 46-XY karyotype and were reared as females; one child had been castrated in infancy. Clitoromegaly, urogenitalsinus, and short vaginal pouch were present in both; inguinal gonads were palpable in one. The diagnosis was made biochemically by observing characteristic changes in five parameters: 1) abnormally high testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (T:DHT) ratio after hCG stimulation (35 and 53 vs. normal, 11 ± 3), 2) abnormally high 5β/5α-T metabolites in urine (8.1 and 6.0 vs. normal, <1), 3) deficient conversion of T to DHT during [3H]T infusion (0.3 and 0.4% vs. normal, 5.3 ± 3), 4) deficient conversion of [14C]T to 5α-reduced metabolitesby nongenital skin fibroblasts (2.2 and 1.9 pmol/μg DNA/nmol substrate vs. 68.4 ± 7.8 pmol/μg DNA/nmol substrate in normal controls), and 5) deficient conversion of [14C]T to DHT in genital skin slices. The fact that this syndrome represents ...
