Abstract
This article contains a review of some genes involved in respective stages of gonadal development in mammals: formation of gonadal ridge and then differentiation of testis and ovaries. The newest research gives evidence that many genes take part in these processes, except SRY – switch of development, also: LHX1, LHX9, SF1, GATA4, WT1, SOX8, SOX9, DAX1, WNT4, FOXL2, DMRT1. The article presents actions and interactions between them.
