The differential diagnosis of a girl presenting with primary amenorrhoea includes numerous conditions. Often, patients of 46XY disorder of sex development (DSD) are reared as girl and present with primary amenorrhoea. Their further evaluation to reach the final diagnosis is often a great challenge. In this article, we report a challenging case of 46XY DSD presented with primary amenorrhoea. Patient had spontaneous breast development which initially confused the diagnosis to complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. However, low testosterone suggested against this possibility and further evaluation revealed hormonal findings consistent with 17α hydroxylase/17,20 lyase (CYP17A1) deficiency. Patient had 46XY karyotype and in consistence with hormonal findings patient was found to have a likely pathogenic homozygous c.1345C>T (p.Arg449Cys) variation in exon 8 of .
以原发性闭经就诊的女孩的鉴别诊断包括多种情况。通常,46XY性发育障碍(DSD)的患者从小被当作女孩抚养,并表现为原发性闭经。对其进行进一步评估以得出最终诊断往往是一项巨大的挑战。在本文中,我们报告了一例以原发性闭经就诊的具有挑战性的46XY DSD病例。患者有自发性乳房发育,这最初使诊断混淆为完全性雄激素不敏感综合征。然而,低睾酮水平排除了这种可能性,进一步评估发现激素检查结果与17α羟化酶/17,20裂解酶(CYP17A1)缺乏一致。患者核型为46XY,与激素检查结果一致,发现患者在[具体基因名称未给出]第8外显子中存在一个可能致病的纯合c.1345C>T(p.Arg449Cys)变异。
