Swyer syndrome is otherwise known as XY gonadal dysgenesis, It indicate hypogonadism in a person and the karyotype will be 46,XY. Diseased persons have normal female external genitalia, and therefore they are identified and grown as females.
a). The person is externally female but with functionless gonads, fibrous tissue termed "streak gonads," . This condition called complete gonadal dysgenesis needs hormonal treatment. They do not have sex hormones such as estrogen or progesterone. So No treatment will not reach puberty. After treatment changes occur in the body like breasts enlargement, underarm and pubic hair, regular menstrual cycles and reaches puberty.
b) Women experiencing Swyer syndrome will be tall, with small uterus, slightly enlarged genital in comparison to normal individuals. infertile Women due to lack of ovaries. They can be fertile by the implantation of donated eggs.
Swyer syndrome affects girls who have an XY chromosomal makeup, no ovaries, but functional female organs including the uterus, fallopian tubes and vagina. The exact incidence is unknown. One estimate placed the incidence at 1 in 80,000 births. Another estimate placed the incidence of Swyer syndrome (complete gonadal dysgenesis) and partial gonadal dysgenesis combined at 1 in 20,000 births. Genital anomalies in general occur in approximately 1 in 4,500 births.
