چکیده
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 karyotype in children. METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2012, children diagnosed with 45,XY,t(13;14)(q10;q10) or 45,XX,t(13;14)(q10;q10) karyotype by chromosome analysis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Eight children (5 boys and 3 girls) were diagnosed with 45,XY,t(13;14)(q10;q10) or 45,XX,t(13;14)(q10;q10) karyotype. They ranged in age from 5 years and 6 months to 12 years and 4 months. The phenotypes of the study patients consisted of 1 hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, 1 precocious puberty, 3 early puberty, 2 growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (partial) and 1 idiopathic short stature. As shown here t(13;14)(q10;q10) Robertsonian translocation shows a wide range of phenotypes. CONCLUSION It can be said that t(13;14)(q10;q10) Robertsonian translocation shows various phenotypes from GHD to precocious puberty in children. Further large-scale studies are necessary.

متن کاملHomozygosity for a Robertsonian Translocation (13q;14q) in a Phenotypically Normal 44, XX Female with a History of Recurrent Abortion and a Normal Pregnancy Outcome
BACKGROUND Robertsonian translocations are structural chromosomal abnormalities caused by fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes. In carriers of such translocations, different modes of segregations would result in the formation of either balanced (alternate segregation mode) or unbalanced (adjacent 1, adjacent 2, and 3:1 segregation modes) gametes. In addition, there is an increased risk for imp...

BACKGROUND Robertsonian translocation t(13;14) is one of the most common structural reorganization in humans, but meiotic segregation studies in these carriers are still limited. The segregation pattern of the chromosomes involved, the possible influence of the translocated chromosomes on the synapsis and disjunction of other chromosome pairs [interchromosomal effects (ICE)] and the rates of un...

Robertsonian translocations (RT’s) are present in 0.1% of the general population and 1% of the infertile population. Two types of RT’s occur more frequently than all others, being 45,XX,rob(13;14)(q10;q10) and 45,XX,rob(14;21)(q10;q10) respectively. In the present report, an uncommon RT in a female with spontaneous repeated abortions is reported. Cytogenetic analysis of a couple with repeated a...
