5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency Market Analysis and Size

5-alpha-reductase deficiency is a major cause of ambiguous genitalia in children. This is a rare disorder observed most commonly because of a mutation in the gene SRD5A2 located on the short arm of chromosome. Up to 40 different types of mutations have been witnessed leading to this disease. Consequently, male differentiation does not occur throughout foetal development despite high amounts of testosterone in the blood.

5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

 5-alpha-reductase deficiency is a type of congenital disease which affects male sexual development. This disorder causes children to appear female at birth, but later they will grow male genitalia during adolescence. The main worry for male patients is to continue the testis for later hormone production. For patients who were raised as females, the possible surgical options are early removal of gonadal tissue to prevent masculinization before puberty, surgical correction of the external genitalia, clitoral reduction, and cyclic hormonal therapy at puberty

5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in the 5-alpha reductase deficiency cases

The growing number of cases of 5-alpha reductase deficiency is a main factor which is driving the market growth rate during the forecast period. Ambiguous genitalia is an unusual condition in infants, which is occurring in 1 out of every 4500 live births. It has been witnessed that only 20 to 40% of the time these youngsters can be diagnosed with these condition. Thus, this incidence is leading the market growth.

• Demand of Treatment Options

There are varied surgical options that are increasing the growth of the market. The surgical correction available if the child chooses to be a female is external genitalia reconstruction, creating a vaginal opening in the perineum with a clear separation of the urethra and vagina. In the teenage time, vaginoplasty would be the ultimate treatment option. Corrective surgery should be done depending on the phenotype of the child if the child is raised as a male. This boosts the market growth.

Opportunities

• Diversified Diagnostic Tests

Conventionally, the biochemical test of choice for diagnosing 5 alpha-RD2 enzyme deficiency has been the point of estimating the ratio between testosterone to DHT after stimulation with human chorionic gonadotropin. Another way of diagnosis is gene analysis. The human gene SRD5A2 gene demands a protein that makes up enzyme 5alpha-RD2 containing 254 amino acids. At least 54 diverse types of mutations have been witnessed involving with this gene, among which the primary type is missense mutations. Thus, these tests demand the growth of the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• High Cost of Treatment Process

The huge expenditure needed for the various surgical options hampers the market growth. Many market players make huge investments in manufacturing new and advanced treatment procedures to faster the recovery process and in return the cost is increased.

• Failure of Detection by Biochemical Assay

This test is not very reliable as the ratio of testosterone to DHT may vary based on numerous factors such as age of the children and severity of enzyme deficiency. This biochemical test is also not very useful in case of partial enzyme deficiencies.
