Developmental Biology! Condition associated with abnormal male gonad development during early development stage!

The are many conditions that can leads to abnormal development of male sex gonads during the early

development starting from fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation and organogenesis period. We will

mention only two for today and hope we learn something interesting from it.

- -Klinefelter syndrome is the condition that resulted from extra ‘X’ chromosome

received by a male child during fertilization period. Klinefelter syndrome can leads to low or

shortage of testosterone at puberty and this can leads to breast enlargement

(gynecomastia), reduced the facial and body hair and unable to father a child in life. 

-- Absent of gene can leads to abnormality of sex male gonad during early

development of embryo. For example: Deletion or mutation of SRY gene will results

in failure to form testicle part and end up forming or developing ovary and females

reproductive parts in male child.

For many other conditions that contributed to abnormal male sex gonad development can be
