Congenital estrogen deficiency

Congenital estrogen deficiency is a congenital form of hypoestrogenism in which the body is unable to produce or use estrogens.[1] Such conditions include:

• Aromatase deficiency, a condition in which aromatase is absent and androgens cannot be converted into estrogens.
• Estrogen insensitivity syndrome, a condition in which the estrogen receptor is defective and unable to respond to estrogens.
