RESUMO

We report on a paracentric inversion X(q13 q24) in a 20-year-old woman with ovarian dysfunction. The findings add evidence on the role of breakpoints in Xq13 and Xq24 in causing ovarian dysfunction. A review of the published data on paracentric inversion of chromosome X is included.

RESUMO

The report presents a family ascertained through recurrent spontaneous abortions in which a new heritable fragile site located at 1q41 is segregating. The fragile site is present in the mother and her son. It is expressed spontaneously in 100% of the metaphases from lymphocyte culture using standard conditions. The use of folate deficient medium and the addition of FUdR to the medium did not affect the appearance nor the level of expression of the fragile site.

RESUMO

Nineteen cases of duplication of segments of the long arm of chromosome X have been published in 13 males and in 6 females. We report an additional case of a male with growth and mental retardation, growth hormone deficiency, compensated primary hypothyroidism, distinctive anomalies of the face, hypoplastic genitalia, and hypotonia in whom inverted duplication of a segment in the long arm of X chromosome was diagnosed, 46,Y, dup (X)(q21.2q13.3), and mosaicism was demonstrated in his mother's X chromosome. The rearranged segment was diagnosed utilizing high resolution G-band technique and FISH studies, using chromosome X total chromosome probe and DNA XIST probe. This appears to be the first report of a patient with duplication of Xq and hypothyroidism.

RESUMO

Since the first description by Elliot et al. [1970, Am J Dis Child 119:72-73] of a probable partial deletion of chromosome 10p, 17 other cases have been reported. The phenotypic expression is variable, but the craniofacial malformations constitute a more consistent finding. The 10p deletion syndrome has been associated with the DiGeorge anomaly in several patients. We report on an additional case of 10p deletion syndrome and review the literature.

RESUMO

We report on a 2-year-old child with psychomotor retardation, facial and urogenital anomalies. His chromosome constitution was 46,XY, del(6)(q13q15). This case further contributes to the karyotype-phenotype correlation of proximal deletion 6q syndromes.

RESUMO

Twenty-four women out of 7,875 pregnant women who enrolled in a prenatal screening program showed extremely low levels of unconjugated estriol (< 0.15 MOM). In 19 cases, intrauterine fetal death was reported. In 1 case anencephalus was detected. In the remaining 4 cases apparently normal healthy babies (1 female and 3 males) were born following uneventful pregnancies. Physical examination of the 3 boys at 4-6 weeks revealed mild ichthyosis compatible with the X-linked type. Two of them had a positive family history of X-linked ichthyosis. The examination of the girl did not reveal any significant findings. In both cases in which amniocentesis was performed, low levels of steroid sulfatase and arylsulfatase C were found. The prevalence of X-linked ichthyosis in this study is higher than previously reported, i.e. 1:1,300 males. Our results suggest that the prenatal screening program for neural tube defects and for Down's syndrome is useful for the prenatal detection of X-linked ichthyosis as well. These results are in accordance with two recent reports. The implications regarding genetic counseling are discussed.

RESUMO

The objective of this prospective open study was to determine the feasibility of obtaining mature spermatozoa for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) by testicular fine needle aspiration (TEFNA) in men diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia. TEFNA consisted of a mean of 15 punctures and aspirations in each testis, using 23 gauge butterfly needles, connected to a 20 ml syringe with an aspiration handle. Patients (n = 85) underwent 111 TEFNA cycles. Mature testicular spermatozoa were recovered in 65 (58.5%) cycles from 50 (58.8%) patients. The sperm recovery rate by testicular histology was 14 out of 29 (48.3%) in patients with Sertoli cell-only, 13 out of 28 (46.4%) in patients with maturation arrest, 19 out of 20 (95%) in patients with hypospermatogenesis, four out of six (66.6%) in patients with tubular hyalinization due to non-mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome. No spermatozoa were found in two cases with post-irradiation fibrosis. ICSI was performed in all 65 cycles. In 58 cycles in which only the husbands' spermatozoa were used, 406 mature oocytes were injected, and 154 (37.9%) were normally fertilized. Of the 143 embryos that developed (92.8%), 119 were transferred in 42 cycles resulting in 18 clinical pregnancies (42. 8%), with 31 gestational sacs, providing an implantation rate of 26%. One abortion of a singleton pregnancy occurred (5.6%). No major side-effects, such as haematoma or infection were recorded. In conclusion, we have found TEFNA to be efficient, easy to learn, safe and well tolerated by all patients. In our opinion, TEFNA should be considered the first choice whenever sperm recovery is attempted in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.
