PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Human sexual development is a sequential process that involves the establishment of chromosomal and genetic sex in the zygote at conception, the formation of the bipotential gonads into testes or ovaries (sex determination), and the development of phenotypic sex (sex differentiation) of the genital tract and external genitalia. Divergent differentiation from the chromosomal sex is possible at each level of sexual development. In addition, gender identity may be established later in life and can be influenced by several prenatal and postnatal factors.
