-* There is only one active X chromosome, so Oocytes die.
-* The death of Oocytes is followed by loss of follicles.
-* This leads to Ovarian Dysgensis (abnormal development) and a highly regressed Streaky Ovary that does not secrete the normal ovarian steroid hormones.
-* The Ovary therefore lacks tone and has no follicular cycles.

-* Normal external genetalia
-* Small stature
-* Flaccid Uterus
