16
Q

inheritance Androgen insensitivity syndrome

A

x linked

17
Q

genotype and phenotype Androgen insensitivity syndrom

A

46XY (male), but female phenotype

18
Q

features Androgen insensitivity syndrome

A

primary amenorrhoea // little or no pubic or armpit hair // undescended testes –> groin swelling // breast development maybe

19
Q

diagnosis Androgen insensitivity syndrom

A

buccal smear or chromosome analysis –> 46XY

20
Q

hormone profile Androgen insensitivity syndrome

A

post puberty testosterone slight raised

21
Q

mx Androgen insensitivity syndrome

A

bilateral orchidectomy, oestrogen therapy

22
Q

what mutation causes Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome and what genotype is present

A

AMH gene // 46XY // born with female genitalia, undescended testes, no ovaries or uterus

23
Q

what is male pseudohermaphroditism + what causes it

A

male = 46XY (testes but external female or ambiguous genitalia) - usually androgen insensitivity

24
Q

what is female pseudohermaphroditism + what causes it

A

46XX - ovaries but male external genetialia (CAH)

25
Q

what is true hermaphroditism

A

46XX ir 47XXY (ovarian and testes present)

26
Q

what inheritence, genotype, and phenotype is 5-α reductase deficiency

A

46XY // recessive // cant convert testosterone –> DHT // ambiguous genitalia

27
Q

what type of hypogonadism is klinefelters + what hormone profile

A

primary hypogonadism // high LH, low testosterone

28
Q

genotype klinefelters

A

47XXY

29
Q

symptoms klinefelters

A

tell // no secondary characteristics // small testes, infetile // gynaecomastia (breast cancer)

30
Q

diagnosis klinefelters

A

karyotype

31
Q

what type of hypogonadism is kallmans

A

secondary (hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism) // low LH and low testosterone

32
Q

symptoms kallmanns

A

delayed puberty // undescended testes // anosmia // normal or above height

33
Q

mx kallmans

A

testosterone +/- gonadotrophin supplements

34
