Evidence for a cryptic 46,XX cell line in a 45,X/46,X,psu idic(Xq) patient with normal reproduction.

چکیده
Gonadal dysgenesis resulting in primary infertility is one of the most common features of Turner syndrome. There have been a number of cases described of pregnancy in 45,X subjects, but whether or not the fertility is associated with a 46,XX cell line in the germ cells is not known. We describe a 45,X/46,X,psu idic(Xq) female with normal fertility, in whom a cryptic 46,XX cell line was found in the germ cells.

Molecular cytogenetic studies of Xq critical regions in premature ovarian failure patients.
BACKGROUND Premature ovarian failure (POF) is defined as amenorrhoea for more than 6 months, occurring before the age of 40, with an FSH serum level higher than 40 mIU/ml. Cytogenetically visible rearrangements of the X chromosome are associated with POF. Our hypothesis was that cryptic Xq chromosomal rearrangements could be an important etiological contributor of POF. METHODS Ninety POF wome...
متن کاملTurner Syndrome: A Unique Mosaic Case with 45,X/47,XX,+21/46,XX Cell Lines
We report an extremely rare case of Turner syndrome mosaicism in a 30-year-old woman. At least 100 metaphases were observed and analyzed through GTG banding with over 550 band resolutions observed. G-banded chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic female karyotype involving 3 different cell lines. One cell line (90% of the analyzed metaphases) presented monosomy X, while 6% of the cells showed tri...
متن کاملProphylactic Bilateral Gonadectomy for Ovotesticular Disorder of Sex Development in a Patient With Mosaic 45,X/46,X,idic(Y)q11.222 Karyotype
Ovotesticular disorder of sex development is historically thought to confer a relatively low risk of germ cell malignancy relative to other disorders of sex development. This is likely due in part to the high prevalence of a normal 46,XX karyotype in these patients. However, disorders of sex development represent a broad phenotypic spectrum, and often patients cannot be neatly categorized with ...
متن کاملHypospadias in a male infant with an unusual mosaic 45,X/46,X,psu idic(Y)(p11.32)/46,XY and haploinsufficiency of SHOX: A case report
A male newborn presented with hypospadias and differential testicular volumes. Short femur length was detected four times during pregnancy, at 23, 31, 32 and 33 weeks, by ultrasonographic examination. Chromosome analysis was performed on peripheral lymphocytes obtained from the infant and his parents. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), using sex determining region Y (SRY)/DXZ1 and DYZ3 p...
متن کاملSevere phenotype resulting from an active ring X chromosome in a female with a complex karyotype: characterisation and replication study.
We report on the characterisation of a complex chromosome rearrangement, 46,X,del(Xq)/47,X,del(Xq),+r(X), in a female newborn with multiple malformations. Cytogenetic and molecular methods showed that the del(Xq) contains the XIST locus and is non-randomly inactivated in all metaphases. The tiny r(X) chromosome gave a positive FISH signal with UBE1, ZXDA, and MSN cosmid probes, but not with a X...
