P-192: The Study of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Gene Mutations and Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser Syndrome
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Mayer - Rokitansky - Kuster - Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by congenital aplasia of the uterus and the upper part of the vagina in women showing normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and a normal 46, XX karyotype. Congenital anomaly of the female genital tract, estimated to occur in approximately 1 in every 5,000 females. It is caused by a failure of development of the caudal portion of the embryonic paramesonephric (Mullerian). Because the embryologic development of the Müllerian ducts directly depends on the prior normal development of the Wolffian ducts, the same gene products may be necessary for normal embryologic development of both ductal systems. CFTR mutations have previously been associated with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD). CBAVD is caused by a disruption in the vas deferens, a Wolffian duct derivative. This study evaluated the role of CFTR mutations in patients with MRKH syndrome. Materials and Methods: DNA samples of 15 females with MRKH syndrome and 15 health females (control group) were tested for common mutations of CFTR gene including (DF508 ,G542X ,N1303K ,W1282X,G551D )by ARMS-PCR and IVS8-Tn polymorphism by using RFLPPCR were analyzed. Results: No mutation and polymorphism was found in s and normal samples. ׳ patient Conclusion: We only detected most common (DF508, G542X, N1303K, G551D, W1282X ) of this gene in patients, could not find An association between CFTR gene mutations and MRKH syndrome, Therefore we should all 27 CFTR exons were analyzed to suggest that mutations of this gene could be associated or not.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome.
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome is a congenital malformation in which there is failure of the Müllerian ducts to develop resulting in absent uterus and fallopian tubes and variable malformations of the vagina. Ultrasonography reveals absence of uterus with normally visualised ovaries.

The congenital aplasia or severe hypoplasia of mullerian structures is infrequent. However, the features of normal female endocrine function paired with the absence of a functional uterus and vagina makes it a fascinating entity. The diagnosis and work-up in these patients has become very efficient, thanks to the use of imaging, and there are multiple successful procedures for the creation of a...

A female neonate with two openings in the introitus and an absent anal opening at the anal site presents a diagnostic challenge. Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome associated with rectovestibular fistula, though rare, should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of this presentation. We present such a case in a one-year-old female child with MRKH syndrome and rectovestibular f...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen female MRKHS patients (mean age, 19.4 years; range, 11-39 years) were studied using MRI. Two experienced radiologists evaluated all the images in consensus to assess the presence or absence of the ovaries, u...

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by Mullerian duct aplasia in an XX individual with female phenotype presenting primary amenorrhea at adolescence. Multiple abnormalities may be associated with the MRKH syndrome. Genetic investigations focused on the genes of anti-Mullerian hormone and its receptor, as well as on Wt1, Pax2, Cftr and Hox genes, have been unproductiv...
