Rokitansky-Küster (RK) syndrome is a disorder that causes the vagina and uterus
to be underdeveloped or absent. Without a uterus, affected women do not have
menstrual periods. Often, the first noticeable sign of MRKH syndrome is that
menstruation does not begin by age 15 (primary amenorrhea). Girls and women with
MRKH syndrome have a 46,XX chromosome pattern. They have normal external
genitalia and functioning ovaries. They also have normal breast and pubic hair
development. Although women with this condition are unable to carry a pregnancy,
they may be able to have children with the help of assisted reproductive technologies
or a uterus transplant.
