Gonadal dysgenesis
Disorders of sex development (DSD), previously referred to as intersex disorders, comprise a variety of congenital diseases with anomalies of the sex chromosome, the gonads, the reproductive ducts and the genitalia. DSD is loosely classified into four groups on the basis of histological features of the gonadal tissue: XX-DSD with two ovaries (female pseudohermaphroditism), XY-DSD with two testi...
متن کاملGonadal dysgenesis with Graves's disease.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis has previously been associated with gonadal dysgenesis. Recent evidence suggests that Graves's disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are disorders of cell-mediated immunity and may have a common genetic predisposition. However, patients with both Graves's disease and the Turner syndrome have been reported only rarely. Three such cases are presented and the relation among g...

متن کاملFamilial XY gonadal dysgenesis.
Gonadal dysgenesis is a condition characterized by streak gonads in subjects who present the phenotypic appearance of females. In pure gonadal dysgenesis, unlike Turner's syndrome, no associated somatic anomalies are found; the adult is of normal or above average stature and may have eunuchoidal proportions (Sohval, 1965). The term 'XY gonadal dysgenesis' refers to patients with pure gonadal dy...
متن کاملFeedback on a feedback loop: the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Recent evidence indicates that transthyretin (TTR), the major transport protein for thyroxine [1] and retinol binding protein [2], plays important roles in amyloidβ (Aβ) metabolism. Transthyretin has been demonstrated to bind Aβ in vitro [3,4] and in vivo [5,6], colocalize in Aβ plaques and within neurons containing intracellular Aβ [7], and recent evidence suggests it might act as a transport ...
