Description
People with 5-alpha reductase deficiency, abbreviated as 5-ARD, have XY chromosomes, testes, and typical levels of testosterone, but their bodies do not have the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to the more powerful androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This affects how an individual's external sex characteristics develop, and people born with 5-ARD often have genital differences that are noticed at birth. In adolescence, people with 5-ARD typically develop some features associated with testosterone puberty, and they may experience genital growth at this point.

Las personas con deficiencia de 5-alfa reductasa, abreviada como 5-ARD, tienen cromosomas XY, testículos y niveles típicos de testosterona, pero sus cuerpos no tienen la enzima responsable de convertir la testosterona en el andrógeno más potente dihidrotestosterona (DHT). Esto afecta el desarrollo de las características sexuales externas de la persona, y las personas que nacen con 5-ARD suelen presentar diferencias genitales que se notan al nacer. En la adolescencia, las personas con 5-ARD suelen desarrollar algunos rasgos asociados a la pubertad testosterona, y pueden experimentar crecimiento genital en dicho momento.
