Immunoexpression of androgen receptors and aromatase in testes of patient with Klinefelter's syndrome.

Klinefelter's syndrome (47, XXY) is the most common chromosome aneuploidy in men and is usually characterized by underdeveloped testes and sterility. The aim of the present study was to detect cellular distribution of androgen receptors (AR) and aromatase in testes of patient with KS. The tissue sections were processed for morphological and immunohistochemical staining. Additionally, levels of ...

(which in our patient failed to rise with LHRH values). Patients with no chromosome abnormality and an HCG-secreting tumour may have gynaecomastia and an appearance in testicular specimens at biopsy that mimics Klinefelter's syndrome'; they too have normal testosterone values and suppressed FSH values.5 We suggest that karyotyping should be performed on all patients with choriocarcinoma to dete...

Benign neurogenic amyotrophy in Klinefelter's syndrome.

Two cases of benign neurogenic amyotrophy associated with Klinefelter's syndrome are reported. Both presented with slowly progressive, diffuse neurogenic muscle atrophy of juvenile onset. Both had a karyotype of XXY. Amplification, by the polymerase chain reaction, of a fragment of androgen receptor that was related to bulbospinal muscular atrophy, showed no abnormality. Treatment with androgen...

P-91: Androgen Associated Gene Polymorphism(s) in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome from South Indian Population

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder affecting 4-12% of reproductive women worldwide; characterized by chronic anovulation, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries on ultrasound scan. Ovarian androgen overproduction is the key pathophysiologic feature of PCOS. A number of genes encoding major enzymes of the androgen meta...
