NR5A1, also termed steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), is a nuclear receptor and a key transcriptional regulator of genes involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-steroidogenic axis. There are some known mutations of the NR5A1 gene in humans. A few of them were originally identified in patients with adrenal insufficiency. In 46,XY individuals, NR5A1-related phenotypes may range from disorders of sex development (DSD) to oligo/azoospermia, and in 46,XX individuals, from 46,XX ovotesticular and testicular DSD to primary ovarian insufficiency.
