Autosomal Translocation Patient Who Experienced Premature Menopause: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a condition in which the ovarian functions of hormone production and oocyte development become impaired before the typical age for menopause. POF and early menopause are present in a broad spectrum of gonad dysgenesis, from a complete cessation of ovarian function to an intermittent follicle maturation failure. Actually POF has been identified as a genetic entity (especially chromosome X), but data on genetic factors of premature menopause are limited. Until now, several cases revealed that inactivation of X chromosomes has an effect on ages of premature menopause and females with balanced or unbalanced X-autosome translocations can have several reproductive problems. On the other hand, there have been a few data that was caused by autosome-autosome translocation can lead. Therefore we report a relevant case of POF with translocation between chromosomes 1 and 4. She had her first menstrual period at the age of 12, and after 7 years she stopped menstruation. Chromosomal analysis showed 46, XX, t (1;4) (p22.3;q31.3). While evaluating this rare case, we could review various causes (especially genetic factors) of POF. To remind clinicians about this disease, we report a case of POF caused by autosome-autosome translocation with a literature review.

متن کاملA Consanguinity Related Autosomal Translocation which Leads to Premature Ovarian Failure.
The premature ovarian failures with underlying chromosomal abnormalities are normally X-linked, although their associations with the autosomal and the Robertsonian translocations are also possible. Here, we are reporting a case of premature ovarian failure which was associated with a translocation between the long arm of chromosome 7 at q11.23 and the short arm of chromosome 5 at p15.3. The pro...
متن کاملP-53: The Unexpected Occurrence of SpontaneousPregnancy during Hormone ReplacementTherapy for Premature Ovarian Failure
Background: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is defined by the association of amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism and elevated (menopausal) levels of serum gonadotropins before age of 40 years-old. This condition affects approximately %1 of women under 40 years of age. Physiologic replacement of ovarian steroid hormones seems rational until the age of normal menopause. Temporary return of ovarian functi...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Premature ovarian failure is defined as the cessation of ovarian activity before the age of 40 years. It is biochemically characterized by low levels of gonadal hormones (estrogens and inhibins) and high levels of gonadotropins (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone). CASE PRESENTATION Our patient, a 22-year-old Caucasian woman under evaluation for in...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Rare Mosaicism in Autosomal Translocation of t(5;21) Using Conventional Cytogenetics and FISH Methods
Background: Mosaicism of a normal cell population and an unbalanced autosomal chromosome rearrangement is rarely seen. If the abnormal cell line contributes to a minor part of soma, the phenotype is expected to be normal. Case Report: We report a 29-year-old woman who had balance chromosomal translocation of 46,XX,t(5;21) with a 2-year-old affected girl, characterized by mental retardation, dys...
