46,XX gonadal dysgenesis is a rare genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by underdeveloped ovaries with consequent, impuberism, primary amenorrhea, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Mullerian agenesis or Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by congenital aplasia of the uterus and the upper part (2/3) of the vagina in a woman with normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and a normal 46,XX karyotype. The phenotypic manifestations of MRKH syndrome may sometimes overlap with various other syndromes and require accurate delineation. The coexistence of both these disorders is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of 46,XX gonadal dysgenesis and MRKH syndrome with anatomically dispersed congenital anomalies unique among reported cases.

Objective: To determine whether we can safely and successfully transplant an ovary tissue allograft from a nonidentical donor to her Turner syndrome sister.

Design: Transplantation of cryopreserved ovary tissue, as well as fresh transplantation of ovarian tissue between identical twins, is now well established with numerous reported successful cases. However, there have not yet been any ovary transplants between nonidentical women requiring immunosuppression (ovary allotransplant).

The birth of a baby with ambiguous genitalia inevitably precipitates a crisis for the baby and its family. This retrospective analysis of hospital data was designed to determine the chromosomal and etiological diagnosis of children presented with suspected disorders of sex development (DSD) according to the newer DSD consensus document.

Article Synopsis
  • Scandinavian countries offer free fertility preservation programs for patients facing infertility risks, particularly those with Turner syndrome.
  • A study at Karolinska University Hospital included 100 women, revealing trends in referrals for fertility counseling, with increased spontaneous menarche post-2006 due to changes in guidelines on who to refer.
