Abstract

Disorders of sex development (DSD) often lead to infertility or sterility because of abnormal gonadal development or prophylactic gonadectomy, yet fertility preservation has rarely been considered for these patients. While infertility or sterility is a risk, fertility preservation represents a complicated decision-making consideration for parents of children with DSD, who may make decisions before a child is mature enough to participate in that process. Optimal timing of fertility preservation, potential for germ cell or gonadal tissue cryopreservation, and attitudes toward fertility preservation among those with DSD and their family members are emerging areas of research and require further study.
