This effect is mirrored in humans, where mutations in the WNT4 gene has been observed in MRKH syndrome patients, who display hyperandrogenism. Mutations in WNT4 gene are not always present in individuals with Müllerian anomalies or MRKH syndrome, but the WNT4 gene is the only gene that has been clearly implicated in MRKH.
Illustration of chromosome crossover during genetic recombination. In evolutionary genetics, Muller's ratchet (named after Hermann Joseph Muller, by analogy with a ratchet effect) is a process which, in the absence of recombination (especially in an asexual population), results in an accumulation of irreversible deleterious mutations.

The condition also occurs in XY males, as they suffer from the effects of low cortisol and salt-wasting, not virilization. Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome – A rare type of pseudohermaphroditism that occurs in 46 XY males, caused by either a mutation in the Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS) gene, on 19p13, or its type II receptor ...
Müllerian agenesis, also known as Müllerian aplasia, vaginal agenesis, or Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome), is a congenital malformation characterized by a failure of the Müllerian ducts to develop, resulting in a missing uterus and variable degrees of vaginal hypoplasia of its upper portion.
Cellular compartments in cell biology comprise all of the closed parts within the cytosol of a eukaryotic cell, usually surrounded by a single or double lipid layer membrane. These compartments are often, but not always, defined as membrane-bound organelles. The formation of cellular compartments is called compartmentalization.
Compartment boundaries establish these organizing centers [5] [7] by providing the source of morphogens [9] that are responsible for the positional information required for development and regeneration. [9] [10] The inability of cell competition to occur across the boundary, indicates that each compartment serves as an autonomous unit of growth.
Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is the presence of Müllerian duct derivatives (fallopian tubes, uterus, and/or the upper part of the vagina) [1] in what would be considered a genetically and otherwise physically normal male. [2]
