MedGen UID:
388650
Concept ID:
C2673480
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and partial alopecia
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:

Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

From HPO
Streak ovary
MedGen UID:
78597
Concept ID:
C0266371
Congenital Abnormality
A developmental disorder characterized by the progressive loss of primordial germ cells in the developing ovaries of an embryo, leading to hypoplastic ovaries composed of wavy connective tissue with occasional clumps of granulosa cells, and frequently mesonephric or hilar cells.
Alopecia
