'''Gonadal Dysgenesis''' is an [[intersex]] bodily/corporeal variation of the atypical embryonic development of the gonads, with reproductive tissue replaced with dysfunctional, fibrous tissue, which is called streak gonads. Streak gonads are a form of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplasia aplasia], resulting in hormonal failure that manifests as sexual infantism and infertility, with no initiation of puberty and [[Secondary Sex Agenesis|secondary sex characteristics]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadal_dysgenesis</ref>
One with this variation cannot ovulate as their reproductive tissue is not formed and is instead replaced with simple tissue. This is usually seen with people who have [[45,X/46,XY Mosaicism]] or [[Turner Syndrome|Turners syndrome]], however it can be a variation amongst itself.
This variation may also cause one to fall under the [[Secondary Sex Agenesis|secondary sex agenesis]] spectrum.
== Swyer Syndrome ==
'''Swyer Syndrome''' is a form of Gonadal Dysgenesis. It is typically affecting an [[AFAB]] otherwise or [[CTF]] individual with [[müllerian]] genitals and a müllerian reproductive system, that have their functionless gonads that are replaced with streak gonads. If left without [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|HRT]], they will not experience puberty.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadal_dysgenesis#46,XY_Gonadal_Dysgenesis</ref> This often causes one to also have [[AFAB Hypogonadism]].
The name was chosen to be named after the endocrinologist who first discovered it, Gerald Swyer.<ref name=":0">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadal_dysgenesis#History</ref>
== History ==
Swyer syndrome was first described by G. I. M. Swyer in 1955 in a report of two cases.<ref name=":0" />
