Background and Objectives: Primary amenorrhea is not a disease but a symptom that may result from several quite different causes[NN1] . Common hormonal cause of primary amenorrhea includes constitutional delay, hypothalamic –pituitary dysfunction, chronic systemic disease and absent ovarian function. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of the chromosomal abnormality referred ...

BACKGROUND Secondary amenorrhea is a condition in which there is cessation of menses after at least one menstruation. It is a symptom of different diseases, such as hormonal disturbances which range from pituitary to ovarian origin, as well as chromosomal abnormalities. Knowledge of the distinct cause of secondary amenorrhea is of tremendous benefit for the management and monitoring of patients...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the chromosomal abnormalities and to identify the most prevalent or frequent type of chromosomal abnormalities in cases of amenorrhea from the southern region of India. METHODS A total of 637 cases with amenorrhea were analyzed using G- banding, C-banding, Silver staining, and fluorescence in situ hybridization was done wherever neces...

OBJECTIVE(S) Primary and secondary amenorrhea are different from each other in that the former refers to a physiological failure in the onset of spontaneous menarche during the time when it is expected. whereas the latter involves the cessation of normal menstruation any time prior to menopause. In this study we aimed to investigate chromosomal abnormalities in patients with Primary Amenorrhea ...

OBJECTIVE To study the frequency of the chromosomal abnormality (CA), referred for karyotyping, and counseling in individuals with primary amenorrhea (PA) and secondary amenorrhea (SA). METHODS We report on a retrospective survey of 865 women with amenorrhea (620-PA and 245-SA) at the Division of Human Genetics, Department of Anatomy, St. John's Medical College, Bangalore, India from 1973 to ...

Primary amenorrhea is one of the common reproductive disorder affecting females. It leads to the absence of menarche in the reproductive age group in females and/or complete absence of reproductive organs. The physiology of menstruation and reproduction has a strong correlation with the expression of the X chromosome. Thus, the role of the clinical geneticists in terms of diagnosis, risk assess...
