18
Q

Pourquoi, dans le cadre du cours, le professeur mentionne à plusieurs reprises qu’au départ, nous sommes tous hermaprhodites?

A

Parce que l’ensemble des structures sexuelles sont identiques jusqu’à 8 semaines de maturation du foetus, où le Gène SRY s’exprime et permet la création du Chromosomes Y (sécrétions androgènes) et donc des testicules.

19
Q

Comment s’effectue la différentiation sexuelle foetale?

A

Apparition du gène SRY et du chromosomes Y:
- Les gonades deviennent des testicules.
-Les hormones antimüllerienne dégradent les canaux paramésonéphriques.
- Testostérone est responsable de la formation des canaux mésonéphriques qui se transformeront en épididymes, vas deferens et vésicule séminal
- Production de Dihydrotestostérone permet formation du tubercule génitale.

Absence du gène SRY et du chromosomes Y :
- Absence d’androgènes
- Dégradation des canaux mésonéphriques
- Canaux paramésonéphriques deviennent l’utérus, les trompes de fallope et le vagin.
- Tubercule génitale devient un clitoris.

20
Q

Résumez les structures embryoniques internes et externes du mâle et de la femelle.

A

INTERNE :
Les gonades :
- F: Ovaires
- M : Testicules
Canaux mésonéphriques :
- F :
- M : Épidydyme, vas deferens et vésicule seminaux
Canaux paramésonéphriques :
- F : Utérus, trompe de fallope et vagin
- M :

EXTERNE :
Tubercule genitale et sillon urogénital :
- F: Clitoris
- H : Pénis, gland et prostate
Pli Labioscrotal :
- F : Labia majoris et minoris
- H : Scrotum

21
Q

What does the story of Reimer VS Dr. Money helped to understand? Despite it’s tragic ending?

A

That nurture itself cannot define gender and that gender is not infinitely malleable.

22
Q

What idea did Dr Money introduced in 1960?

A

Gender as a psychological construct and experience of maleness and femaleness

23
Q

En 2006, il y eu un consensus dans l’assignation des genres selon les variations, quel est-il?

A

Si AIS ou CAH –> Assigne sexe Féminin
Si 5-AR –> Assigne sexe Masculin
Dans les autres cas, il est mieux d’attendre le développement de l’enfant.

24
Q

De quoi est-il question dans l’histoire de Caster Semenya ?

A

Née avec syndrôme AIS donc phénotype féminin mais présence de chromosome XY et disqualifier des Olympiques à cause de son niveau de testostérone trop élevé

25
Q

Définir syndrôme de Turner

A

Chromosomes X0 - 1 seul chromosome sexuel, phénotype femme (épaule et cou large, mamelons espacés, majoritairement infertiles)

26
Q

Définir le Klinefelter Syndrom

A

Chromosomes XXY - Phénotype masculin avec traits légèrement féminins (petit testicules, présence de seins prononcés, moins poilus)
- Feedback signalling problems to the HPA
- Lower testo production
- Fertilité compromise

27
Q

Définir le CAH (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)

A

Génotype XX –> Phénotype féminin
- Niveau élevé d’androgènes produit par les glandes surrénales avant la naissance.
- Clitoris + large, lèvres fuselées
- Organes reproducteurs internes ne sont généralement pas affectés.

28
Q

Définir le AIS (Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome)

A

Génotype : XY mais phénotype –> Féminin
Les gonades deviennent des testicules mais ne descendent pas
Pas d’org. repro interne
Org exter = féminin + CSS féminin à la puberté

29
Q

Définir le 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency

A

Mutation génétique courante dans certaine régions spécifiques comme la Rep. Dominicaine, Turquie et Nouvelle Huinée
Génotype = XY mais phénotype = XX parce qu’il y a une déficience dans la synthèse de Dihydrotestostérone.
- Interne repro. are male
- Externe org. are typically female
- Durant la puberté, développement du pénis et descente des testicules
- Genre à redéfinir

30
Q

Comment définit-on l’intersexe?

A

Ambiguité génitale, non-concordance du genotype et phénotype sexuel
