Abstract : Persistent müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is characterized by the presence of müllerian duct derivatives in otherwise phenotypically normal males. Homozygous or compound heterozygous alterations in AMH or AMHR2 have been identified in approximately 88% of PMDS cases. We report on a male patient with bilateral undescended gonads, müllerian derivatives, and normal serum AMH levels. A novel homozygous missense mutation, c.119G>C;p.Gly40Ala, in exon 2 of AMHR2 was detected that supported the clinical diagnosis of PMDS.
