To investigate candidate genes affected by a complex X chromosome rearrangement that may play a role in the diagnosis of spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
Prospective cytogenetic analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis and oligonucleotide array comparative genome hybridization (CGH).
University medical center.
PATIENT(S): A 36-year-old woman with POI found to have a highly rearrangement X chromosome.
INTERVENTION(S): FISH analysis and oligonucleotide array CGH.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Oligonucleotide microarray analysis to detect duplicated, deleted, or translocated regions of the X chromosome.
RESULT(S): Complex rearrangement of the X chromosome involving ≥12 breakpoints resulting in two deletions, four duplications, and several intrachromosomal translocations. At least 13 genes with possible relevance to POI may be affected by the rearrangement.
CONCLUSION(S): Array CGH can reveal candidate genes that may have essential roles in fertility and POI.
研究受复杂 X 染色体重排影响的候选基因,这些基因可能在自发性卵巢早衰(POI)的诊断中发挥作用。
前瞻性细胞遗传学分析、荧光原位杂交(FISH)分析和寡核苷酸微阵列比较基因组杂交(CGH)。
大学医学中心。
一名 36 岁的 POI 女性,发现其 X 染色体高度重排。
FISH 分析和寡核苷酸微阵列 CGH。
寡核苷酸微阵列分析检测 X 染色体的重复、缺失或易位区域。
X 染色体的复杂重排涉及≥12 个断点,导致两个缺失、四个重复和几个染色体内部易位。至少有 13 个与 POI 可能相关的基因可能受到重排的影响。
CGH 阵列可以揭示可能对生育和 POI 具有重要作用的候选基因。
