Repro Path Flashcards
Male Testicular atrophy Eunechoid body shape Gynecomastia Female Hair distribution
Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Klinefelter’s Syndrome Genotype
XXY
Barr body present
Hormonal effect of dysgenesis of seminiferous tubules in Klinefelter’s
Decreased inhibin –> decreased FSH
Hormonal effect of abnormal Leydig Cells in Klinefelter’s
increased LH –> increased Estrogen
Most common cause of 1º amenorrhea
Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome genotype
XO
No Barr Body
Short stature Ovarian dysgenesis shield chest defects in lymphatics --> webbed neck Lymphedema in hands and feet
Turner Syndrome
XO
Congenital defects associated with Turner Syndrome
Preductal Coarctation of Aorta
Horseshoe Kidney
Dysgerminoma
Hormone levels seen in Turner syndrome
Decreased Estrogen –> increased LH/FSH
Defective androgen receptor hormone levels
Increased T & LH
Testosterone secreting tumor or exogenous steroids hormone levels
increased T
Decreased LH
1º Hypogonadism hormone levels
Decreased T
Increased LH
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism hormone levels
Decreased T and LH
Disagreement between phenotypic (external genitalia) and gonadal (testes/ovaries) sex
Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism
Female Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism (46 XX)
Ovaries but virulized/ambiguous genitalia
Exposure to androgens in utero
Male Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism (46 XY)
Testes present but female/ambiguous genitalia
Androgen insensitivity–most common cause
True Hermaphoroditism (46 XX or 47 XXY)
Both ovary and Testes
ambiguous genitailia
Rare
Increased E, T, and LH
Defect in Androgen Receptor
Genotypically male but Phenotypically female
Rudimentary vagina and no internal sex organs
Testes present in Labia
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
46 XY
Why do testicles need to be removed from labia in androgen insensitivity syndrome?
Prevent Malignancy
Male with ambiguous genitalia until puberty
Inability to convert T –> DHT
Autosomal Recessive
5alpha-reductase deficiency
Anosmia
Decreased Synthesis of GnRH
Decreased FSH, LH, T, and sperm count
Kallmann Syndrome
What causes Kallmann syndrome
failure of migration of GnRH cell and formation of olfactory bulb
Female presents with uterine bleeding, increased hCG, honeycomb uterus, and no fetus.
Hydatidiform Mole
Hydatidiform Mole is most common precursor of
Choriocarcinoma
