Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Gonadal dysgenesis as in Turner syndrome (45X) can also occur in chromosomal mosaics (45X/46XX, 45X/46XX/47XXX, 45X/46XY). The common phenotype of 46XX gonadal dysgenesis includes normal stature, sexual infantilism, bilateral strand gonads, normal female internal and external genitalia and primary amenorrhoea. The streak gonad produces occasionally oestrogens or androgens, but malignant transformation is rare. Incomplete forms of this condition can lead to hypoplastic ovaries that produce enough oestrogen to cause some breast development and a few menstrual periods, followed by secondary amenorrhoea. This heterogeneous syndrome occurs sporadically, usually with autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance, in some cases it is associated with other congenital malformations. 46XX gonadal dysgenesis also occurs in association with autosomal recessively inherited congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which is usually caused by CYP21A2 mutations. Precursors of 17-hydroxyprogesterone are accumulated, converted to testosterone and cause virilisation of the female genitals. The total diagnostic yield of 46XX gonadal dysgenesis is slightly over 30%. An inconspicuous genetic finding does not mean that the suspected clinical diagnosis can be excluded with certainty.
