Swyer syndrome is an example of a condition in which an externally unambiguous female body carries dysgenetic, atypical, or abnormal gonads. [20] Other examples include complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, partial X chromosome deletions, lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and Turner syndrome. [21]
If a Y chromosome is lacking, or defective as seen in Swyer syndrome, the embryo will reabsorb the mesonephric ducts and proceed with paramesonephric ducts, which give rise to ovaries. The Y chromosome contains a sex-determining region called the SRY gene. Thus, the developmental plan of the embryo is altered only if this gene is present and ...
Turner syndrome, also known as 45,X or 45,X0, is a chromosomal abnormality characterised by a partial or completely missing second X chromosome, [4] [24] [25] giving a chromosomal count of 45, instead of the typical count of 46 chromosomes. [24]
This includes conditions such as Swyer syndrome or Turner syndrome with Y chromosome mosaicism. [39] [38] These cancer risks are addressed using genetic screening and performing a gonadectomy if necessary. [38] The undescended testes of those with androgen insensitivity syndrome also pose a cancer risk.
XX gonadal dysgenesis is related to Swyer syndrome, since both conditions have the same phenotype and clinical issues; however in Swyer syndrome the karyotype is 46,XY. Gonadectomy is recommended in individuals with Swyer syndrome due to the risk of malignant tumors from the mosaicism in the Y chromosome. [10]
For example, women and girls with Swyer syndrome typically have a uterus and fallopian tubes. Some have ovaries that may not function properly, or instead have internal testes. ... Chromosomes and ...

Klinefelter Syndrome: Inherit a normal Y chromosome and multiple X chromosomes, giving persons a karyotype of XXY. Persons with this are considered male. Swyer Syndrome: SRY gene is transferred to the X chromosome instead of staying on the Y chromosome, testis development will no longer occur. Characterized by an XY karyotype and female phenotype.
