The gene NR5A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 1, OMIM +184757) encodes for the Steroidogenic factor1 (SF1), a key regulator of the adrenal/gonadal development and function. Disorders/Differences of Sex Development (DSD) are defined as conditions where the chromosomal/anatomical, phenotypic sex is atypical. Heterozygous mutations of NR5A1 gene are associated, in 46, XY DSD patients, with a wide phenotypic spectrum of the external genitalia, with or without adrenal failure. Here we report a 46, XY newborn carrying a novel heterozygous NR5A1 mutation that presents with ambiguous genitalia without adrenal failure.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

1. Abstract
Denys-Drash syndrome consists of the triad of progressive nephropathy characterised by diffuse
mesangial sclerosis (DMS), genital abnormalities, and Wilms tumour. Nephropathy may range
from early onset proteinuria to nephrotic syndrome to end stage renal failure. Genital malforma-
tions affects both external and internal genitalia. It may range from penoscrotal hypospadias,
bilateral cryptorchidism to an enlarged clitoris with fused labia and a urogenital sinus to atrophic
uterus to streak ovaries or dysgenetic testes. The risk of developing Wilms’ tumor may be as high
as 50%.
A primigravida with screen positive for trisomy 21 was evaluated for further work up. Antenatal
ultrasound showed oligohydramnios with failure of growth. Both foetal kidneys were visualized
with normal echogenicity; with suspicion of genital ambiguity. Antenatal case with suspected
ambiguous genitalia, oligohydramnios and failure of growth; amniocentesis was done and chro-
mosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was done. It identified a micro deletion of 20 kilo base
pairs (Kbp) in WT1 gene located at 11p13 including both exonic and intronic regions. Advantage
of chromosomal micro array is higher resolution which helps in identifying additional clinical
significant abnormality.

3. Prenatal Diagnosis of Denys-Drash Syndrome
In 1967, Denys et al. described the triad of ambiguous genitalia,
nephrotic syndrome and Wilms’ tumor in an XX/ XY mosaic [1].
Drash et al. [2] described this triad in two patients and suggested
that it may be a syndrome [2].
4. Case Presentation
31 years old primigravida with quadruple test report screen
positive for trisomy 21 as 1:181 was being referred to the foetal
medicine department for further work up. Antenatal ultrasound
showed oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid index – 8.0 cm) with
failure of growth (Figure 1).

exon 7, 9 or 10 in the remaining allele.
WT1 is located on chromosome 11p13, it encodes zinc finger
domains and its product plays a key role in the regulation of gene
transcription [4]. Expression of WT1 is observed in the glo-
merular epithelium of the kidneys and the genital ridge during
the embryonic period, thus WT1 is thought to have a functional
role in renal and gonadal organogenesis [5]. The WT1 tumour
suppressor gene encodes a transcriptional factor containing
four zinc fingers. [6,7] WT1 gene has two alternative splicing re-
gions, one consisting of 17 amino acids which are encoded by
the whole of exon 5 and the other comprising three amino acids
(lysine, threonine, and serine (KTS)) situated between the third
and fourth zinc fingers encoded by the 3’ end of exon 9. Four
isoforms of the gene thus occur depending on the presence or
absence of these regions [8].
These isoforms are present in a fixed proportion in tissues where
they are expressed. WT1 is expressed from the condensing mes-
enchyme to mature podocytes in fetal kidneys, genital ridges and
fetal gonads. Therefore, this gene is thought to play an important
role in the development of the kidneys and gonads [9,10].
This intron 9 mutation leads to impairment of exon9 alterna-
tive splicing with a consequent decrease in the +KTS isoform,
thereby resulting in a quantitative +KTS/−KTS isoform imbal-
ance. Depending on exonic or intronic mutations, clinical fea-
tures vary amongst the patients.
Exonic mutations clinically had either Denys-Drash syndrome
or IDMS. WT1 mutations were missense mutations within the
second or the third zinc finger encoded by exon 8 or 9, respec-
tively. Intron 9 splicing donor site mutations, the clinical features
are consistent with Frasier syndrome.
These isoforms have different DNA binding properties [11]; the −
KTS isoform has greater binding affinity for growth related genes
[12]. Two of these isoforms have been shown to vary in subnu-
clear localisation. The +KTS isoform appears to be involved in
post-transcriptional RNA processing in association with splicing
factors, while the −KTS isoform is situated in the transcriptional
factor domain [13,14].
Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is characterised by WT1 muta-
tions, early onset renal failure, abnormal sex differentiation and a
predisposition to Wilms tumour [1,2]. WT1mutations have mis-
sense changes in exon 8 or 9 affecting zinc finger 2 or 3. Germline
mutations in WT1 have been reported in the majority of DDS
patients [15,16] Missense point mutations in exon 7 are very rare
[15].
Usually, WT1 missense mutations are detected in exons 8 or 9
and affect zinc fingers 2 or 3, which show a high level of homol-
ogy to the three zinc fingers of EGR1 and are believed to be im-
portant for their binding capacity to WT1 DNA targets [17].
Functional impairment of this gene is considered to give rise to
urogenital abnormalities and Wilms tumours. Denys-Drash syn-
drome and Frasier syndrome, both of which are characterised by
nephropathy with genital abnormalities
Denys-Drash syndrome consists of the triad of progressive ne-
phropathy characterised by diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS),
genital abnormalities, and Wilms tumour [18]. The incomplete
form also exists. All patients with DDS have point mutations in
the zinc finger domain encoded by exons 7 to 10 of theWT1gene
[19]. Most of them are missense and in exon 8 and 9 that encode
the second and third zinc fingers.
Moorthy et al. [20] proposed an allelic disorder known as Frasier
syndrome; characterised by a slowly progressing nephropathy,
male pseudohermaphroditism and no Wilms tumour [20]. Fo-
cal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is often observed in
cases of Frasier syndrome meanwhile diffuse mesangial sclerosis
(DMS) is noted in Denys-Drash syndrome. Frasier syndrome
arises from heterozygous mutation at the intron 9 splicing donor
site of the WT1 gene [21,22].
The amount of the +KTS isoform is less as compared to −KTS
isoform owing to the intron 9 mutation in Frasier syndrome, in
whom masculinisation is impaired, suggestive of +KTS isoform
playing a role in masculinisation. The incidence of Wilms tu-
mour is considered to be markedly lower in patients with intron
9 mutations than in those with exonic mutations [23,24].
8. Postnatal
The genital malformations vary considerably, ranging from
penoscrotal hypospadias with bilateral cryptorchidism to an en-
larged clitoris with fused labia and a urogenital sinus, in patients
with a 46, XY karyotype. The internal genitalia may also be af-
fected; the abnormality varying from a small atrophic vagina and
uterus to the presence of streak ovaries or dysgenetic testes [25].
The nephropathy is characterized by onset of proteinuria be-
tween birth to two years of age [26]. With more than 50% of
children presenting with proteinuria before one year of age. Pro-
teinuria may evolve into nephrotic syndrome and to end stage
renal failure (ESRF) [27]. Varying degrees of focal and diffuse
mesangial sclerosis are the most consistent histopathological
findings in the kidneys. A 50% risk of developing Wilms’ tumor
has been reported in this syndrome [26].

4. 9. Conclusion
Primary advantage of micro array is higher resolution which
yields more genetic information; array has been reported to iden-
tify additional clinical significant abnormality in approximately
6% of cases which might be missed on conventional karyotype.
Thus based on the results of NICHD multicentric trial 2012; pre-
natal chromosomal micro array analysis is most beneficial when
foetal structural abnormalities are detected on antenatal ultra-
sound [28].
In conclusion, there is a genotype phenotype concordance. Clini-
cal profile, progression of nephropathy, degree of genital abnor-
malities and incidence of Wilms tumours vary with the type of
underlying genetic mutation; i.e. exonic or intronic mutations.
Thus, detection of types of WT1 mutations is useful for prognos-
tic estimation of the clinical course in children with progressive
nephropathy.
It is important to consider the diagnosis of Denys-Drash syn-
drome in any patient with unexplained nephropathy, particularly
young girls and children with ambiguous genitalia or those pre-
senting with an early Wilms’ tumor.
