| − | * Occurs in Mares
| |
| − | * X0 sex chromosome complement
| |
| − | * Normal autosomal chromosome complement
| |
| − | * Develop an ovary
| |
| − | * 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
| |
| − | * Small, inactive Ovaries
| |
| − | * Complete absence of Ovarian activity and consequent Anoestrous
