Definition
English
:
Defects in the SEX
DETERMINATION
PROCESS in 46, XY individuals that result in abnormal gonadal development and deficiencies in
TESTOSTERONE
and subsequently ANTIMULLERIAN HORMONE or other factors required for normal male sex development. This leads to the development of
female
phenotypes (male to
female
sex reversal), normal to tall stature, and bilateral streak or dysgenic
gonads
which are susceptible to GONADAL TISSUE
NEOPLASMS
. An XY
gonadal dysgenesis
is associated with structural abnormalities on the
Y CHROMOSOME
, a
mutation
in the GENE, SRY, or a
mutation
in other autosomal genes that are involved in sex
determination.
