This report describes general characteristics of the group of diseases classified as ovarian dysgenesis (ODG). A comprehensive list of ODG subtypes, as defined by OMIM, can be found by following the link in the "OMIM phenotypic series" section, below. A subset of these are listed in the table below, with links to more detailed reports for subtypes that have been investigated using fly models.
Hypergonadotropic ovarian failure is a heterogeneous disorder that, in the most severe forms, is a result of ovarian dysgenesis. Ovarian dysgenesis accounts for about half the cases of primary amenorrhea (pubmed:12836721). [from MIM:233300; 2019.05.06]
46,XX ovarian dysgenesis is etiologically heterogeneous. [from MIM:233300; 2019.05.06] See the phenotypic series for multiple types of ODG, linked to different causative genes.
