摘要
Gonadal dysgenesis (GD) belongs to the group of disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) and is based on an inborn faulty or missing development of the gonads. In complete loss of function or if no testosterone and no testicular anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is produced, streak gonads and a female phenotype (usually with uterus) arise even in cases of a male karyogram. Leading symptom is primary, hypergonadotropic amenorrhea with normal body height and usually without associated anomalies, with the exception of the Turner syndrome and other rare syndromes. A partial loss of function of the gonads leads to premature ovarian failure (POF) in 46,XX GD and to ambiguous external genitalia in 46,XY GD. In cases with Y in the karyogram, the gonads must be removed due to the risk of up to 30% of malignant development. Associated anomalies, adrenocortical insufficiency and short stature necessitate an interdisciplinary approach, hormone therapy for induction of breast development and prevention of osteoporosis should be initiated by gynecologists. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
