Müllerian agenesis
Let an agent explain Mullerian agenesis respectfully, relay features, diagnosis, associated conditions and care options from gynaecology sources, describe the named associations, route to specialist and psychological support, and distinguish it from androgen insensitivity, imperforate hymen, primary ovarian insufficiency and other causes of primary amenorrhoea, without diagnosing individuals.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain Mullerian agenesis respectfully, relay features, diagnosis, associated conditions and care options from gynaecology sources, describe the named associations, route to specialist and psychological support, and distinguish it from androgen insensitivity, imperforate hymen, primary ovarian insufficiency and other causes of primary amenorrhoea, without diagnosing individuals.
A congenital condition in which the uterus and upper vagina fail to develop or develop only partly, also called Mullerian agenesis or Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, so that a person with typical female chromosomes and functioning ovaries is born without a fully formed uterus and vagina, with associated forms the registry aliases name such as the MURCS association, which adds kidney and skeletal features, and Michels-Caskey syndrome; it is usually discovered in adolescence when menstruation does not begin, and it affects fertility but not ovarian hormone function. Care is provided by specialist teams, and it is presented respectfully as a difference of reproductive development, with psychological support and options such as vaginal creation and, in some cases, uterine transplant discussed with clinicians.
What it is for: Not applicable; a congenital reproductive difference.
It can be explain features and diagnosis; relay associated conditions; relay care options respectfully; route to specialist and psychological support.
Distinguishing features
Absent or partial uterus and vagina
Functioning ovaries
Typical female chromosomes
Found at adolescence
What it looks like
Not visible externally; typical external genitalia with an absent or short vagina and absent or rudimentary uterus.
Physical character
also called: MRKH syndrome note
chromosomes: typically 46,XX note
registry parents: vaginal aplasia, agenesis note
How it is recognised
Congenital underdevelopment of the uterus and upper vagina
Michels Caskey syndrome, MURCS association
Androgen insensitivity involves XY chromosomes; imperforate hymen blocks outflow; primary ovarian insufficiency affects ovaries; other causes differ
