    With advancing maternal age, the number of prenatal genetic tests is increasing in many countries. Prenatal genetic tests, such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling and non-invasive prenatal testing, can disclose fetal chromosomal sex, although these tests were originally designed to prenatally diagnose chromosomal aneuploidies, such as trisomy 21, 18 and 13. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by an androgen receptor dysfunction leading to hormone resistance. Read More

    Swyer syndrome is a pure gonadal dysgenesis associated with a 46 XY karyotype and primary amenorrhea in a phenotypic female. Individuals in this syndrome are at an increased risk for development of gonadal malignancies. Swyer syndrome (gonadal dysgenesis) running in families is rare event and few such scenarios were reported in the literature. Read More

    17α-Hydroxylase deficiency is rare autosomal recessive disorder that manifested by hypertension, hypokalemia, delayed sexual development, primary amenorrhea and infertility. The information regarding infertility care and conception in women with this disorder are extremely limited. We report a 24-year-old Japanese woman with primary amenorrhea who was diagnosed as partial 17α-hydroxylase deficiency caused by homozygous 3 bp deletion in exon 1 of 17α-hydroxylase gene. Read More

    Purpose: Primary ovarian failure (POF) is characterized by amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism, and elevated gonadotropin levels in women leading to infertility under the age of 40 years. POF is a heterogeneous disease with different causes, and several genes have been associated with the POF phenotype. Thus, Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in a consanguineous family with two sisters affected by POF. Read More

    Methods: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing administration of GnRHa before and/or during chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone. Eligible participants were premenopausal women at any stage of cancer, without previous diagnosis of infertility. Read More
