Gonadal and müllerian duct agenesis in a girl with 46,X,i(Xq). 1984

F D De Leon, and J H Hersh, and J S Sanfilippo, and K N Schikler, and F F Yen

A unique case of gonadal agenesis and rudimentary müllerian duct development in association with a 46,X,i(Xq) karyotype is reported. The patient presented with short stature and subtle features of Turner syndrome. Endocrine evaluation revealed elevated gonadotropins and cytogenetic findings from both peripheral blood leukocytes and skin fibroblasts were consistent with a 46,X,i(Xq) karyotype. Laparoscopy revealed both uterus and gonads to be absent. Developmental failure of the müllerian system in association with gonadal agenesis in a patient with 46,X,i(Xq) has not been previously reported. The basis for müllerian duct regression in this patient remains unclear. Recommendations for treatment are made.

D009095 Mullerian Ducts A pair of ducts near the WOLFFIAN DUCTS in a developing embryo. In the male embryo, they degenerate with the appearance of testicular ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE. In the absence of anti-mullerian hormone, mullerian ducts give rise to the female reproductive tract, including the OVIDUCTS; UTERUS; CERVIX; and VAGINA.

D006059 Gonadal Dysgenesis A number of syndromes with defective gonadal developments such as streak GONADS and dysgenetic testes or ovaries. The spectrum of gonadal and sexual abnormalities is reflected in their varied sex chromosome (SEX CHROMOSOMES) constitution as shown by the karyotypes of 45,X monosomy (TURNER SYNDROME); 46,XX (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, 46XX); 46,XY (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, 46,XY); and sex chromosome MOSAICISM; (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, MIXED). Their phenotypes range from female, through ambiguous, to male. This concept includes gonadal agenesis. Gonadal Agenesis,Dysgenesis, Gonadal

D014424 Turner Syndrome A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.

Beyond the isthmus at the perineal end of fundus, is CERVIX UTERI (the neck) opening into VAGINA. Beyond the isthmi at the upper abdominal end of fundus, are the FALLOPIAN TUBES.
