From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

It is a deficiency of the Mullerian inhibiting substance, which is secreted by the Sertoli cells during embryogenesis.

Effects[edit | edit source]

It can result in unilateral or bilateral cryptorchidism, testicular regression syndrome and sterility.
