Q

hypergonadotrophin (FSH/LH) HYPOgonadism (estrogen/androgen)
is associated with what 2 syndromes?

A

klinefelter syn (47 XXY or 48 XXXY):

  • hypoplastic testes> hypogonadism (NO Inhibin B or Testosterone)
  • low hormones> + FBL = hypergonadotropin production (FSH/LH)

turner syn (45XO):

  • streaked ovaries = NO estrogen or androgen production
  • low hormones> + FBL = hypergonadotropin production (FSH/LH)
31
Q

what is the pathophys of Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism ?

A 
No GNRH (gonadotrophin) to tell gonads to release hormones
= low GNRH > Low FSH/LH > Low estrogen/androgen
32
Q

examples of Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (secondary hypogonadism)?

A
  • Kallman syndrome
  • Prader-Willi syndrome (deficiency in hypothalamic/pituitary GH)
  • Gaucher disease
  • hypothalamus or pituitary lesions (> no FSH/LH release)
  • opioids (inhibit GnRH release)
  • eating disorders (no GnRH release under stress/ malnutrition)
33
Q

Hypergonadotrophic hypergonadism is associated with what sexual development disorder?

A

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) = males who look like females bc there are defects in the androgen receptor on organs in the body:
»> inc GnRH> inc LH/FSH > inc testosterone/estrogen

34

DES exposure> breast & endometrial cancer in mom
