    It's just as a duplication of SOX9 can cause chromosomal females to develop as phenotypical males even in the absence of SRY and deficiencies cause chromosomal males to develop as phentotypical females (with skeletal deformities)

    I learnt about this in a second year, undergrad human genetics course... isn't the role of SOX3 and other genes in the testis/ovary forming pathway fairly well established? This is hardly a 'breakthrough' :/
