By examining the lymphocytic chromosomes of peripheral blood from patients with amenorrhea, spontaneous abortion and stillbirth history, .the 16 rare species of human chromosomal abnormal karyotypes were discovered. They were 46,XY,t(6;11)(q25;p15);46,XY,inv(3)(p25;q29);46,XY,t(7;18)(q10;p10);46,X,t(X;13)(q24;q14);46,XY,t(4;7)(q33;q22);46,XY,t(8;15)(q24;q15);46,XY,t(2;17)(q33;q25);46,XX,t(4;7)(q34;q11);46,XX,t(1;3)(p36;p23);46,XX,t(4;6)(q35;p11);46,X,inv(X)(q22;q28);46,XX,t(7;10)(p11;q26);46,XX,t(3;6)(p21;q23);46,XX,t(8;16)(p21;p13);46,XX,t(8;9)(q21;q34);46,XY,t(17;22)(q21;q11). Their clinical situation were described. Discussion on the relationship between the chromosomal aberrations and phenotype effect indicates the importance of chromosome karyotyping in patients with abnormal reproductive history.

Translocations involving X chromosome and an autosome are rather rare due to the associated infertility in men and subfertility in women. X-autosome translocations are frequently associated with primary or secondary ovarian failure and at times Turner syndrome-like features if there is an involvement of the critical region of Xq13-q26. A 19-year-old proposita with a complaint of amenorrhea was found to have hypoplastic uterus and streak ovaries. Hormonal profile revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Chromosomal analysis of 25 conventionally stained metaphases revealed the karyotype to be 46,X,t(X;7)(q13;p15)de novo. This rare finding is the first report from India, to the best of our knowledge. She also exhibited the maternally inherited heteromorphic variant of chromosome 21. The occurrence of t(X;7) in the proposita with hypergonadotropic amenorrhea confirms the role of X-autosome translocations in ovarian dysfunction.
