Anomalies of the urogenital sinus, which is a transient feature of the early human embryological development, are rare birth defects. Urogenital sinus abnormalities commonly present as pelvic masses, hydrometrocolpos, or ambiguous genitalia and most commonly occur within the context of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Anomalies of the urogenital sinus requires surgical repair. We experienced a case of a female newborn with congenital urogenital sinus abnormality in which the early diagnosis helped us to prevent complications by decompressing the vagina soon after birth. Antibiotic prophylaxis was sufficient to avoid infections and to decompress the genitourinary system, thus allowing a deferred elective surgery to correct the sinus.

46,XY sex reversal 11 (SRXY11) is a rare and recently identified form of 46,XY difference in sexual development (DSD), caused by variants in the DEAH-Box Helicase 37 gene (). is crucial for ribosome biogenesis, but its specific role in gonadal development remains unclear. The genital phenotype varies widely, ranging from typical female to typical male.

Signs of virilization, such as clitoromegaly, labio-scrotal fusion, and urogenital sinus may be observed in females with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and other rare virilizing forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This makes sex determination difficult, and multiple reconstructive surgeries in the postnatal period may be required. As 21-OHD is an autosomal recessive disease, the chance of any child being affected is one in four and so only one in eight will be an affected female.

Cloaca is an ultra-rare severe anorectal malformation in females where the gastrointestinal, genital, and urologic systems converge. Posterior Cloaca (Type B) is an extremely rare specific variant, where the urogenital sinus opens just anterior to the anus. NCHi027-A is an iPSC line derived from skin fibroblasts of a 4 year and 8-month-old female with Posterior Cloaca (Type B) using Sendai Virus reprogramming.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is among the most prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorders affecting women of reproductive age. Multiple factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices, are considered significant contributors to the development of PCOS. A kind of long noncoding RNA-C-Terminal binding protein 1 antisense (lncRNA CTBP1-AS) has been proven to be a new androgen receptor regulator.

Article Synopsis
- - Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) are a unique group of marine animals related to horseshoe crabs, but there's limited information on their anatomy and biology, particularly regarding reproduction.
- - This research focuses on the male reproductive system of the sea spider P. femoratum, detailing its U-shaped testis with specific features like pedal outgrowths and reduced reproductive sinus, which supports sperm development.
- - The study highlights the structure of sperm from P. femoratum, noting its lack of typical euchelicerate traits and suggesting that the associated sex-specific glands may have functions in reproduction, with ovigeral glands possibly providing antifungal substances.
