Two Heifers with Gonadal Dysgenesis and the Sex Chromosomal Constitution XY

Zwei Färsen mit Hypoplasie der Gonaden und der Geschlechtschromosomenstatus XY

Två kvigor med könskörtelhypoplasi och könskromosomstatus XY

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 8, pages 262–272 (1967)Cite this article

Summary

Two heifers of the Swedish red and white (SRB) breed showed hypoplasia of the genital organs and the sex chromosomal constitution XY. The hypoplastic-dysplastic ovarian follicular system is given a more detailed description. No relationship was found between the two cases.

Zusammenfassung

Zwei Färsen, die der Schwedischen roten und weissen (SRB) Rasse gehörten, zeigten Hypoplasie der Genitalorgane und die Geschlechtschromosomenkonstitution XY. Das hypoplastische-dysplastische follikuläre System der Eierstöcke wird näher beschrieben. Keine Verwandschaft wurde zwischen den beiden Fällen gefunden.

Sammanfattning

Två SRB-kvigor visade hypoplasi av könsorganen och könskromosomkonstitutionen XY. Det hypoplastiska-dysplastiska follikelsystemet i ovarierna beskrives mera i detalj. Ingen släktskap kunde påvisas mellan de båda fallen.
