MURCS association
MURCS association (a variant of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) is a very rare developmental disorder[1] that primarily affects the reproductive and urinary systems involving MUllerian agenesis, Renal agenesis, Cervicothoracic Somite abnormalities.[2] It affects only females.
Genetics
Genetic heterogeneity is observed in MURCS association.[3]
