Estrogen resistance syndrome is a rare, genetic endocrine disease characterized by estrogen-receptor insensitivity to estrogens and the presence of elevated estrogen and gonadotropin serum levels. Clinical manifestations include absent breast development and primary amenorrhea in association with multicystic ovaries and/or hypoplastic uterus in female patients, normal or abnormal gonadal development in male patients and markedly delayed bone maturation, persistence of open epiphyses, reduced bone mineral density, and variable tall stature in both sexes. Glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia and lipid abnormalities may also be present.
Features include always present findings: Increased circulating osteocalcin level, Elevated alkaline phosphatase of bone origin, Hypoplasia of the uterus, and Delayed skeletal maturation and others. 15 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |

Bones and joints | 4 | Increased circulating osteocalcin level, Elevated alkaline phosphatase of bone origin, Delayed skeletal maturation |
ESR1 encodes estrogen receptor 1 (595 aa). Nuclear hormone receptor. The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Highest expression in Cervix Endocervix (88.9 TPM) and Uterus (60.7 TPM).
Estrogen resistance syndrome is associated with mutations in the ESR1 gene on chromosome 6.
ESR1 is classified as a druggable target (Clinically Actionable, Drug Resistance, Druggable Genome, Kinase, Nuclear Hormone Receptor, Transcription Factor, and Transcription Factor Complex categories) with score 0.7.
Genetic testing for ESR1 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for estrogen resistance syndrome has been reported in the published literature.
Phenotype severity distribution: 11 always present features.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for estrogen resistance syndrome.
56 publications have been identified in PubMed for estrogen resistance syndrome. Research spans Basic Science / Preclinical (54%), Review / Meta-Analysis (21%), and Case Report / Case Series (7%).
