چکیده

Adult height was compared between published cases of patients with XX gonadal dysgenesis (XXGD) and those with XY gonadal dysgenesis (XYGD). The mean adult height of XYGD patients (171.0 cm (SD 7.8), n = 27) was significantly greater than that of XXGD patients (164.4 cm (7.7), n = 27) (p less than 0.01). This finding supports the existence of a Y specific growth gene(s) which promotes statural growth independently of the effects of gonadal sex steroids.

I-43: Identification of SOX3 as an XX MaleSex Reversal Gene in Mice and Jumans

Background: Mammals utilise an XX/XY system of sex determination in which the Y-linked gene SRY (Sexdetermining region Y) exerts a dominant masculinising influence on sexual development. Sex chromosome homology and comparative sequence studies suggest that SRY evolved from the related SOX3 gene on the X chromosome, although there is no direct functional evidence to support this hypothesis. The ...

The X linked recessive form of XY gonadal dysgenesis with a high incidence of gonadal germ cell tumours: clinical and genetic studies.

Five phenotypic females in one family had the genotype 46,XY and all had gonadal germ cell tumours. Studies of the family pedigree suggest that this form of XY gonadal dysgenesis is inherited in an X linked recessive manner. G banding of elongated metaphase chromosomes from two subjects with XY gonadal dysgenesis and a female carrier showed no aberrations of the X chromosome. The titres of H-Y ...

Multigeneration Inheritance through Fertile XX Carriers of an NR0B1 (DAX1) Locus Duplication in a Kindred of Females with Isolated XY Gonadal Dysgenesis

A 160 kb minimal common region in Xp21 has been determined as the cause of XY gonadal dysgenesis, if duplicated. The region contains the MAGEB genes and the NR0B1 gene; this is the candidate for gonadal dysgenesis if overexpressed. Most patients present gonadal dysgenesis within a more complex phenotype. However, few independent cases have recently been described presenting with isolated XY gon...

Familial 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...
