NCIt definition : Human NR5A1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q33 and is approximately
26 kb in length. This allele, which encodes steroidogenic factor 1 protein, is involved
in the activation of transcription for genes that are associated with steroid processing.
Mutations in the gene are a factor in both XY sex reversal with or without adrenal
failure and adrenocortical insufficiency without ovarian defect.;
