Girls/women in inverted commas : facing 'reality' as an XY-femaleSimmonds, Margaret January 2012 (has links)
XY-women with conditions such as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) have male sex chromosomes, internal (abdominal) testicular or gonadal streak tissue, and no ovaries or (usually) uterus, but are otherwise female in body form and gender identity/role. Many have no reason to doubt a female sex until they are investigated for failure to menstruate. Using mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) empirical methodology, the study reveals how XY-women discovered their diagnosis, with an in-depth analysis of the medical and societal discourses that shaped the labels/identities to which they have been subjected or they have assumed. Data was collected by questionnaire from 114 women recruited via a peer support group. The study is interdisciplinary, spanning medicine, psychology, sociology and feminist gender theory. It is informed by a range of theories including patriarchy and medicalisation (including terminology issues), sexual dimorphism, sex versus gender, social construction, abjection, self-surveillance and performativity, and sexual difference and corporeality. Many participants had experienced diagnostic secrecy by doctors, particularly in N. America. Younger participants had benefited from a recent move to truth disclosure. Participants had found the androcentric medical discourse/terminology difficult to reconcile with their female appearance, identity and social role; and did not approve of the degree of medicalisation. Infertility was the greatest personal concern but most thought that possession of a vagina was society's main criterion for womanhood. Most seemed secure in their female gender, although some were aware of a degree of performativity. Knowledge of their male biological attributes seemed problematic for many (especially those with Swyer Syndrome1), with expressions of inauthenticity, fraud or freakishness by some. Participants showed little awareness of gender theory and even the idea of a sex versus gender conceptual split seemed confusing for many, but clearer to those in N. America. The majority seemed to construct a totally female sex, although some entertained the idea of an intersexed sex, particularly those in N. America and those with a lesbian or bisexual orientation. The lesbian/bisexual sub-group, and those with a PAIS diagnosis, also showed the greatest awareness of gender performativity. Advocacy is a key aspect of the project, developing the argument that the androcentric focus of intersex medicine and the poor provision of clinical psychology restricts the opportunities for these patients to explore alternative discourses and non-medical meanings of their diagnosis. 1. But needs clarifying using a larger sample.

Disease gene mapping in border collie dogsMelville, Scott Andrew, Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences, Faculty of Science, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
Pedigree dog breeds are genetically isolated and inbred populations with characteristics specific to each breed. Some breeds carry genetic diseases which affect the health of the animals, but may also serve as a valuable model to identify genes involved in human disease. In the Border Collie breed in Australia, the identification of two disease genes would enable breeders to DNA test their animals and prevent future cases. Over 530 samples were collected to identify the genes responsible for these diseases through linkage mapping and candidate gene approaches. Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) defines a group of symptoms that cause the incorrect development of different regions within the eye, and may also result in the detachment of the retina. The presence of the disease in different breeds of collies suggests that the disease originated before the differentiation of the collie breeds. The CEA gene was mapped to a region of CFA37, but the disease gene was identified by another research group. Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects Border Collie dogs from approximately 16 months of age. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and affected animals display a range of physiological and behavioural symptoms that include loss of muscular control, nervousness and sometimes aggression. Due to the debilitating nature of the disease, dogs rarely survive beyond 28 months of age. Microsatellite markers were used to exclude the Border Collie NCL gene from the region of the English Setter NCL gene (homolog of human NCL gene CLN8). Further work mapped the disease gene to CFA22, in a region containing the homolog for CLN5, one of the identified human disease genes for NCL. Subsequent sequencing of canine CLN5 revealed a nonsense mutation (c.619C>T, Q206X) that co-segregated with NCL in Border Collie pedigrees. This truncation mutation resulted in a protein product of similar size to some mutations identified in human CLN5 and therefore the Border Collie may make a good model for future NCL studies. With DNA testing now available, breeders of Border Collies can now ensure that no animal will die of NCL.
