XY gonadal dysgenesis: genetic heterogeneity based upon clinical observations, H-Y antigen status and segregation analysis. 1981

J L Simpson, and N Blagowidow, and A O Martin

Clinical observations and segregation analysis indicate that XY gonadal dysgenesis is characterized by genetic heterogeneity. In addition to the type inherited in X-linked recessive fashion, segregation analysis of other families suggested another type by revealing that the proportion of affected sibs did not differ from that expected on the basis of a male-limited autosomal recessive inheritance. Further heterogeneity may be deduced on the basis of coexisting campomelic dwarfism or possibly also renal parenchymal abnormalities. These observations of genetic heterogeneity must be considered when interpreting studies in which individuals with XY gonadal dysgenesis may or may not show H-Y antigen.

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
D006061 Gonadal Dysgenesis, 46,XY Defects in the SEX DETERMINATION PROCESS in 46, XY individuals that result in abnormal gonadal development and deficiencies in TESTOSTERONE and subsequently ANTIMULLERIAN HORMONE or other factors required for normal male sex development. This leads to the development of female phenotypes (male to female sex reversal), normal to tall stature, and bilateral streak or dysgenic gonads which are susceptible to GONADAL TISSUE NEOPLASMS. An XY gonadal dysgenesis is associated with structural abnormalities on the Y CHROMOSOME, a mutation in the GENE, SRY, or a mutation in other autosomal genes that are involved in sex determination.

D006182 H-Y Antigen A sex-specific cell surface antigen produced by the sex-determining gene of the Y chromosome in mammals. It causes syngeneic grafts from males to females to be rejected and interacts with somatic elements of the embryologic undifferentiated gonad to produce testicular organogenesis.

D000483 Alleles Variant forms of the same gene, occupying the same locus on homologous CHROMOSOMES, and governing the variants in production of the same gene product. Allelomorphs,Allele,Allelomorph
D012733 Sex Differentiation The process in developing sex- or gender-specific tissue, organ, or function after SEX DETERMINATION PROCESSES have set the sex of the GONADS. Major areas of sex differentiation occur in the reproductive tract (GENITALIA) and the brain. Differentiation, Sex,Sexual Differentiation,Differentiation, Sexual
