A case of gonadal dysgenesis or the Ullrich-Turner syndrome with androgenic manifestations.

This syndrome is thought to have been originally described by Ullrich (1930) and Turner (1938), but Meyer (1925) and Baer (1927) have given earlier descriptions of cases of 'ovarian agenesis' presenting with androgenic manifestations. Grumbach, van Wyk and Wilkins (1955), in a thorough review of the subject, have proved the value of sex typing of nuclei in 22 cases, and by basing the same arguments as Russell, Levin and France (1955) on Jost's experimental work have suggested a partial explanation for the aetiology of this syndrome. This report is of a child dying at 7 months, who had the cardinal features of the Ulfrich-Turner syndrome associated with androgenic manifestations. Case Report
