Chromosomal translocation t(13;16) in a patient with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

چکیده
A patient with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) had an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 13 and 16 [t(13;16)(q14.11;q24)]. The patient's father has the same chromosomal translocation with no apparent physical abnormalities. The role of the chromosomal translocation in this patient is discussed.

Gonadotropins in Infertile Men with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Background Stimulatory therapy with gonadotrpins is an effective treatment to induce spermatogenesis in men with idiopathic hypogonadotroptic hypogonadism (IHH). The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of human chorionic gonadotropin / human menopausal gonadotropin on hypogonadotropic infertile men. MaterialsAndMethods This study included fifty-six azoospermic infertile men with I...
متن کاملStudy on KAL1 Gene Mutations in Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Patients with X-Linked Recessive Inheritance
Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition caused by low doses of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) leading to absence or incomplete sexual maturation. One of the disorders leading to IHH is Kallmann syndrome which is characterized by GnRH deficiency with anosmia or hyposmia. This disorder generally occurs as a hereditary syndrome with X-linked recessive inhe...

W e have established the Developmental Genome Anatomy Project (DGAP; //dgap.harvard.edu) to take advantage of the unique opportunity to locate genes of developmental importance provided by apparently balanced chromosomal rearrangements associated with phenotypic abnormalities. By positional cloning at or near the breakpoints, we aim to identify the crucial disease genes whose functions have bee...
متن کاملI-3: Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is an uncommon cause of male infertility and a congenital or secondary disorder characterized by delayed or absent sexual maturation. Congenital abnormalities leading to HH are usually the consequence of deficient GnRH secretion occurring either in isolation (idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH)), or in association with anosmia (Kallmann syndrome; KS...

PURPOSE 45,XY,t(13;14)(q10;q10) karyotype can suggest infertility associated with more or less severe oligospermia in male adults. In addition, 45,XX,t(13;14)(q10;q10) karyotype carries reproductive risks such as miscarriage or infertility in female adults. However, reports on the phenotype of this karyotype in children are very rare. This study was done to observe various phenotypes of this ka...
