Harnden and Stewart (1959) applied the term pure gonadal dysgenesis to...

Cytogenetical studies in five Atlantic Anguilliformes fishes

The order Anguilliformes comprises 15 families, 141 genera and 791 fish species. Eight families had at least one karyotyped species, with a prevalence of 2n = 38 chromosomes and high fundamental numbers (FN). The only exception to this pattern is the family Muraenidae, in which the eight species analyzed presented 2n = 42 chromosomes. Despite of the large number of Anguilliformes species, karyo...

46, XY female--a case report.

INTRODUCTION We examine a presumptive case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) with certain unusual features. CLINICAL PICTURE A woman with early onset osteoporosis gave a history of primary amenorrhoea and surgery for intraabdominal gonads. She subsequently defaulted follow-up and hormone replacement therapy. Endocrinological evaluation revealed hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism...
