This study details a rare case of 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis in a phenotypic female, unexpectedly presenting without a uterus or posterior vagina. This unique clinical presentation has not been previously documented in medical literature.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Medicine
Genetics
Endocrinology

Background:

Complete gonadal dysgenesis (CGD) is a disorder characterized by underdeveloped gonads.
Individuals with 46,XY CGD typically present with female external genitalia and a uterus.

Observation:

A 46,XY individual presented as a phenotypic female with complete gonadal dysgenesis.
Unexpectedly, this individual lacked a uterus and a posterior vagina.

Findings:

This case represents a previously undocumented variant of 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis.
The absence of uterine and vaginal structures is a novel finding in this condition.

Implications:

This finding expands the spectrum of phenotypic variability in 46,XY complete gonadal dysgenesis.

Further research is needed to understand the genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying this variant.
