Living with Mixed gonadal dysgenesis

A condition present from birth in which the reproductive glands develop unevenly, linked to a mix of chromosomes.

It occurs in a person with a mosaic karyotype, which means the body's cells have different chromosome makeups. The most common form is 45,X/46,XY mosaic. GARD does not list other details for this condition.
