Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is characterized by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina in females with 46, XX karyotype. The genetic etiology remains poorly understood.
We described a 29-year-old female patient with a main complaint of primary amenorrhea. The MRKHS diagnosis was confirmed, and molecular analysis revealed a 7q11.23 microduplication in the proband that was shown to be inherited from her mother. In the literature, müllerian malformations have been reported in only a few cases of 7q11.23 microduplication. However, the abnormalities observed in our patient have not been described previously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a patient with the coexistence of 7q11.23 microduplication syndrome and MRKHS.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Identification of the 7q11.23 duplication could suggest a new candidate region for MRKHS and add to the already described signs of 7q11.23 microduplication syndrome.
迈耶-罗基坦斯基-库斯特-豪泽综合征(MRKHS)的特征是46, XX核型的女性先天性子宫和阴道缺失。其遗传病因仍知之甚少。
我们描述了一名29岁的女性患者,主要症状为原发性闭经。MRKHS诊断得到证实,分子分析显示先证者存在7q11.23微重复,且该微重复遗传自其母亲。在文献中,仅在少数7q11.23微重复病例中报道过苗勒管畸形。然而,我们患者中观察到的异常情况此前尚未有描述。据我们所知,这是首例记录在案的同时存在7q11.23微重复综合征和MRKHS的患者。
讨论/结论:7q11.23重复的鉴定可能提示MRKHS的一个新候选区域,并补充已描述的7q11.23微重复综合征体征。
