Abstract
We report two new familial cases of male pseudohermaphroditism due to
5-alpha-reductase deficiency, from the south of Spain. They were born
with ambiguous genitalia and were reared as females. At the time of pu
berty, both brothers virilized partially and underwent a change of gen
der role from female to male with a stormy psychic readjustment period
. We stress the value of the prolonged chorionic gonadotropin test for
an early diagnosis.
