XY complete gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome, is a type of defect hypogonadism in a person whose karyotype is 46,XY. Though they typically have normal vulvas , [ 1 ] the person has underdeveloped gonads, fibrous tissue termed " streak gonads ", and if left untreated, will not experience puberty .
Mixed gonadal dysgenesis, also known as X0/XY mosaicism or partial gonadal dysgenesis, [21] is a sex development difference associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy and mosaicism of the Y chromosome. [14] Mixed gonadal dysgenesis is the presence of two or more germ line cells. [23]
A form of complete gonadal dysgenesis, mostly due to mutations in the first step of sex determination; the SRY genes. A 5-alpha-reductase deficiency results in atypical development characterized by female phenotype or undervirilized male phenotype with development of the epididymis , vas deferens , seminal vesicle , and ejaculatory duct , but ...
45,X/46,XY mosaicism, also known as X0/XY mosaicism and mixed gonadal dysgenesis, [1] is a mutation of sex development in humans associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy and mosaicism of the Y chromosome. It is a fairly rare chromosomal disorder at birth, with an estimated incidence rate of about 1 in 15,000 live births. [2]
46, XY gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome 46, XX male syndrome , also known as de la Chapelle syndrome In this list, the karyotype is summarized by the number of chromosomes, followed by the sex chromosomes present in each cell.
Mixed gonadal dysgenesis – a condition of unusual and asymmetrical gonadal development leading to an unassigned sex differentiation. A number of differences have been reported in the karyotype, most commonly a mosaicism 45,X/ 46,XY. [52]
In humans, the presence of the Y chromosome is responsible for triggering male development; in the absence of the Y chromosome, the fetus will undergo female development. In most species with XY sex determination, an organism must have at least one X chromosome in order to survive. [2] [3]
In embryology, the genital ridge (genital fold or gonadal ridge) is the developmental precursor to the gonads. The genital ridge initially consists mainly of mesenchyme and cells of underlying mesonephric origin. Once oogonia [clarification needed] enter this area they attempt to associate with these somatic cells.
