Primary amenorrhoea (PA) is one of the common reproductive disorder affecting females.PA is characterised by the absence of menarche in the reproductive age group in females and some cases with absence of reproductive organs. The study was carried out in large cohort (N=490) of subjects with PA to identify genetic, anatomical and hormonal factors responsible for PA. Conventional cytogenetic and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) technique were applied to detect the chromosomal abnormalities. The chromosomal abnormalities were detected in total 121 (24.7%) females. In our cohort numerical chromosomal aberrations frequency was found to be high (43.8%) as compared to structural abnormalities (26.4%). The 46, XY karyotype was identified in 29.8% patients. The anatomical abnormalities including absences of ovaries (51.2%), streak ovaries (35.6%), hypoplastic uterus (59.6%), absent uterus (22.3%) were also detected and correlated with genetic abnormalities in this cohort. FSH (follicular stimulating hormone) level were also found to be high in these patients. Our study suggests that genetic investigation are important for further management of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
