'''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 characteristics.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonadal_dysgenesis</ref> |
