Background: 46,XY Complete Gonadal Dysgenesis (Swyer Syndrome) is a rare cause for DSD with incidence ≈1:80000. It is characterised by defective formation of the gonads as a result of structural anomalies in the sex chromosomes or mutations in specific genes. In 20% of the patients deletion/mutation in SRY can be found. Mutations, deletions or duplications in other genes (NRD5A1, DHH, DAX1, WNT4, DMRT, etc.) are also reported. The phenotype is completely female and the d...
