Clinical and chromosomal studies of a case of gonadal dysgenesis. The patient presented primary amenorrhea, rudimentary uterus, ipoplastic tubes and gonadad streak. No Barr bodies or drumsticks were found, and the chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic of the type XO/X + centric fragment. The pertinent literature is reviewed, and attention is drawn to the possible existence of a secretion of the steroid type in the Leydig-like cells present in the gonadal streak.
