Topic: Gonadal dysgenesis, XY female type


  
  XX gonadal dysgenesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
XX gonadal dysgenesis is a type of female hypogonadism in which no functional ovaries are present to induce puberty in an otherwise normal girl whose karyotype is found to be 46, XX.
Her gonads cannot make progesterone, so her menstrual periods will not be predictable until she is given a progestin, still usually as a pill.
The XX gonadal dysgenesis is the related to the Swyer syndrome inasmuch as both conditions have the same phenotype and clinical issues, however in Swyer syndrome the chromosome constellation is 46, XY, and thus requires gonadectomy.

 Bebunking X and Y - The Reggae Boyz Forum
Their endorsement of an XY chromosome article genuine in itself, and extrapolate meaning of scientific Nomenclature symbols XY as a universal language to describe narrowly the meaning of XY and somehow associate this with an individual serves as a classic examples of this cognitive underdevelopment and pointedly evidences examples of a concrete thinking mindset.
Xy represents a classification or taxonomy and is used to indicate ‘the unknown’ under principles of general scientific convention.
XY chromosome, at no time did I indicate that I represented any chromosome, but due to your innate tendencies (frame of reference) you could not resist the urge of latching onto what you know: yaad man sey bird of a feather ‘stuck’ together, dats you ‘Dick’ and your chromosome twin ‘Moby’, your psuedo tells all.

Mutations in this gene give rise to XY females with gonadal dysgenesis (one type of Swyer syndrome, 306100) and translocation of part of the Y chromosome containing this gene to the X chromosome in XX males (278850).
XY mice that were mutant for all 3 receptors developed ovaries and showed a completely female phenotype.
XY mice with this mutation are fertile females, although fertility is reduced and their ovaries fail early, a picture similar to that in the patient reported by Brown et al.

 UNSW Embryology-OMIM GONADAL DYSGENESIS, XY FEMALE TYPE; GDXY
Gonadal dysgenesis, XY female type, is associated with point mutations or deletions of the SRY gene (480000), but also in some cases with changes in the X chromosome.
A high incidence of neoplasia (gonadoblastomas and germinomas) in streak gonads of patients with the XY karyotype was claimed by Taylor et al.
One of the males had 8 children; all were phenotypic females, 2 of whom were sex-reversed XY females carrying the mutation mentioned.

 Congenital Anomalies and Inherited Disorders of the Horse
XY female type, Swyer syndrome, Sry -XX hermaphroditism, and XX male pseudohermaphroditism.
An example is a horse with stallion-like behaviour with gonads retained in the abdomen which histologically were testes but, when karyotyped (looking at the chromosomes), the stallion had the normal 64 chromosomes, two of which were XX (female) chromosomes.
These types of abnormalities are usually a part of a larger picture where other congenital abnormalities related to the urogenital tract are present.

 DBGET Result: OMIM 306100
At birth the patients with the XY female type of gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome) appear to be normal females; however, they do not develop secondary sexual characteristics at puberty, do not menstruate, and have 'streak gonads.' They are chromatin negative and have a 46,XY karyotype.
The gonads begin to develop as ovaries, but in the absence of the second X chromosome, the germ cells die, the follicles become atretic, and the ovaries degenerate.
In the human sex-determining region in a 35-kb interval near the pseudoautosomal boundary of the Y chromosome, there is a candidate gene for testis-determining factor, termed SRY ('sex-reversed, Y,' from mouse terminology), which is conserved and specific to the Y chromosome in all mammals tested (Sinclair et al., 1990); see 480000.

 XY Female at The Medical Dictionary
Swyer syndrome, or XY gonadal dysgenesis, is a type of female hypogonadism in which no functional gonads are present to induce puberty in an otherwise normal girl whose karyotype is then found to be XY.
The karyotype reveals XY chromosomes and the imaging demonstrates the presence of a uterus but no ovaries (the streak gonads are not usually seen by most imaging).
Her gonads cannot produce eggs so she will not be able to conceive children the natural way.

 XY Female Pregnancy
by M. Italiano
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
However, another syndrome, XY gonadal dysgenesis or the XY sex reversal syndrome(1) is convincing enough, to require that even some persons with a normal Y chromosome must be regarded as female.
A disturbance with any of these genes, or possibly environmental influences, may cause an XY person to become a female with a uterus and ONLY female anatomy, who is capable of giving birth.
Although these females have ovarian tissue which degenerates prematurely(11),when they are provided with donor eggs, their giving birth to single pregnancies(5,8), twin pregnancies(6), and even more than one successive pregnancy(7), leaves us with a new indisputable fact: XY can sometimes equal female.

They suffer rapid and early degeneration of their gonads, which are present in the adult as 'streak gonads', consisting mainly of fibrous tissue and variable amounts of ovarian stroma.
In contrast, subjects with 46,XY partial gonadal dysgenesis have ambiguous genitalia, a mix of Muellerian and Wolffian structures, and dysgenic gonads.
It is characterized by gonadal dysgenesis with short stature, "streak gonads", variable abnormalities such as webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, cardiac defects, low posterior hair line.

This XY gonadal dysgenesis is a heterogenous condition with variant forms resulting from a structural abnormality on Y chromosome, a mutation in SRY gene or a mutation in autosomal genes.
The syndrome is sometimes called "pure gonadal dysgenesis," but this designation may also refer to gonadal dysgenesis with a 46,XX karyotype (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, 46,XX).
