AB Disorders  of  sexual  development  (DSD)  are  a  group  of  congenital  conditions  in  which  there  is  abnormal  development  of  chromosomal,  gonadal,  or  anatomic  sex.  DSDs  can  be  divided  into  3  broad  categories:  (1)  46,XX  DSD,  (2)  46,XY  DSD,  and  (3)  sex  chromosome  DSD.  Table  532-1  presents  the  classification  of  DSD  for  clinical  use.  The  clinical  presentation,  management  approach,  and  considerations  for  sex  assignment  are  discussed  in  the  final  section  of  this  chapter.
