Abstract
Sex chromosome mosaicism results in a large clinical spectrum of disorders of sexual development (DSD). The percentage of 45,X cells in the developing gonad plays a major role in sex determination. However, few reports on the gonadal mosaic status have been published, and the phenotype is usually correlated with peripheral lymphocyte karyotypes, which makes the phenotype prediction imprecise. This study was conducted on 7 Egyptian DSD patients to demonstrate the effect of sex chromosome constitution of both blood lymphocytes and gonadal tissues on the phenotypic manifestations. Conventional cytogenetic and FISH analyses of blood lymphocytes were conducted, and laparoscopy with gonadal biopsy was performed for histopathologic examination and FISH analysis. Gonosomal mosaicism was detected in 3 patients who had a non-mosaic chromosome pattern in blood lymphocytes. Two patients showed the same type of sex chromosome mosaicism in both the blood and gonadal tissues but with different distributions. Two other patients revealed a non-mosaic pattern in both tissues. The present study elucidates the importance of examining sex chromosome mosaicism in gonadal tissues of DSD patients and highlights the critical role of 45,X mosaicism which can lead to serious effects during early gonadal organogenesis.

Abstract
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) occurs in about 1% of female population under the age of 40, leading to reproductive problems, an earlier encounter with menopausal symptoms, and complicated diseases. There are three presumable mechanisms involved in the development of POI, namely apoptosis acceleration, follicular maturation blocking and premature follicle activation, through the following studied causes: (i) chromosomal abnormalities or gene mutations: mostly involve X chromosome, such as FMR1 premutation; more and more potentially causal genes have been screened recently; (ii) metabolic disorders such as classic galactosaemia and 17-OH deficiency; (iii) autoimmune mediated ovarian damage: observed alone or with some certain autoimmune disorders and syndromes; but the specificity and sensitivity of antibodies towards ovary are still questionable; (iv) iatrogenic: radiotherapy or chemotherapy used in cancer treatment, as well as pelvic surgery with potential threat to ovaries' blood supply can directly damage ovarian function; (v) virus infection such as HIV and mumps; (vi) toxins and other environmental/lifestyle factors: cigarette smoking, toxins (e.g., 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide), and other environmental factors are associated with the development of POI. The etiology of a majority of POI cases is not identified, and is believed to be multifactorial. Strategies to POI include hormone replacement and infertility treatment. Assisted conception with donated oocytes has been proven to achieve pregnancy in POI women. Embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation and oocyte cryopreservation have been used to preserve ovarian reserve in women undergoing cancer treatments.

Abstract
Background The human condition known as Premature Ovarian Failure (POF) is characterized by loss of ovarian function before the age of 40. A majority of POF cases are sporadic, but 10–15% are familial, suggesting a genetic origin of the disease. Although several causal mutations have been identified, the etiology of POF is still unknown for about 90% of the patients. Methodology/Principal Findings We report a genome-wide linkage and homozygosity analysis in one large consanguineous Middle-Eastern POF-affected family presenting an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. We identified two regions with a LODmax of 3.26 on chromosome 7p21.1-15.3 and 7q21.3-22.2, which are supported as candidate regions by homozygosity mapping. Sequencing of the coding exons and known regulatory sequences of three candidate genes (DLX5, DLX6 and DSS1) included within the largest region did not reveal any causal mutations. Conclusions/Significance We detect two novel POF-associated loci on human chromosome 7, opening the way to the identification of new genes involved in the control of ovarian development and function.

Abstract
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a cause of infertility that affects about 1% of women under 40, and is considered as idiopathic in 75% of cases. An occupational chemical origin has been identified at least once with 2-bromopropane, but human studies are rare and experimental data are sparse. This review aims to carry out a critical synthesis of knowledge of the chemical agents likely to affect follicular stock in humans and/or animals, by direct toxicity to follicles, or by increasing their recruitments. Of 140 chemical agents (or groups) studied, 20 have been identified as potentially damaging to the ovarian reserve. For the majority of toxic agents, only experimental data are currently available. At least four of these agents are likely to lead to POF in descendents (ethylene glycol methyl ether; 2,2-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-propanediol; benzo[a]pyrene; dimethylbenzantracene). We propose a strategy aiming to encourage progress in identifying occupational factors responsible for POF.

Impact of serum estradiol on postprandial lipemia, oxidative stress, and inflammation across a single menstrual cycle. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 7:166-78. [PMID: 20435279 DOI: 10.1016/j.genm.2010.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/28/2009] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND An abrupt rise in circulating lipids, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers is a common finding after ingestion of a high-fat meal. Estradiol, typically provided via hormone replacement therapy to postmenopausal women, has been reported to possess lipidemic, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory properties, all of which may minimize postprandial oxidative stress. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the postprandial triglyceride (TG), oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses after a lipid meal in menstruating women during the early follicular (days 1-3) and preovulatory (day 14) phases of the menstrual cycle. METHODS Healthy normolipidemic women (fasting blood TG, <200 mg/dL) with regular menstrual cycles reported to the Cardiorespiratory/Metabolic Laboratory at the University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee (October-December 2008) and consumed an identical lipid meal (heavy whipping cream and water) on 2 separate days during the menstrual cycle. Blood samples were collected premeal and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours postmeal, then assayed for TG, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide, Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAL), nitrate/nitrite, and C-reactive protein (CRP). The AUC was calculated for each variable, and a 2 (menstrual cycle phase) x 5 (time) ANOVA with Tukey post hoc testing was also conducted. Estradiol concentration was measured in premeal samples for verification of cycle phase. RESULTS Ten women (mean [SD] age, 29 [11] years; 8 white, 2 black; body mass index, 22 [3] kg/m(2)) participated in the study. Despite a higher serum estradiol concentration on day 14 (113 [56] pg/mL) compared with the early follicular phase (61 [34] pg/mL), the TG, oxidative stress, and inflammatory AUC responses to feeding were not significantly different. TG (P = 0.03), MDA (P = 0.02), and hydrogen peroxide (P < 0.001) were significantly increased in response to feeding (time effect), whereas nitrate/nitrite was decreased (P = 0.01). TEAC and CRP were not significantly affected. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that estradiol, at the concentrations noted in the present study, had no significant effect on postprandial TG or biomarkers of oxidative stress or inflammation in a sample of young, healthy women. It is possible that a greater divergence in circulating estradiol may be needed for significant differences to be detected, as may be the case with chronic hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to characterize women with premature ovarian failure (POF) by their ovarian ultrasonographic appearances using transabdominal technique to establish the relationship to clinical, hormonal status, and genetic analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied a cohort of 80 patients suffering from POF. The surface of the ovary was calculated and we identified the detection or not of follicles. RESULTS The detection of the two ovaries by ultrasound was positive in 33 patients; only one ovary was identified in seven patients; none was noted in 40 patients. The surface of the ovaries ranged between 0.74 et 5.92 cm(2) (2.2+/-1.13 cm(2)). Ultrasonography identified follicles in 23 patients (28.75%). The presence of follicles suggested at ultrasonography was detected in 14 cases (70%) in normal-sized ovaries (> or =2 cm(2)) and in nine cases (45%) in small-sized ovaries (p=0.1). No significative statistical difference was found between the ultrasonographic appearances and the type of amenorrhea, pubertal development, hormonal status (estradiol, testosterone and delta-4-androstendione) and the chromosomal analysis. CONCLUSION The clinical and hormonal status and the genetic analysis can't predict the presence or not of follicles in the ovaries of patients with POF.

Abstract
Premature ovarian failure is a common pathology affecting 1% of women. Although multiple etiologies have been described the majority of cases are idiopathic. Forkhead transcription factors as FOXL2 and FOXO3A are of particular interest in the research of genetic factors related with the pathology as they are present in diverse developmental pathways and ovarian physiology. Similarly, some TGF-beta factors (i.e. BMP 15 and GDF-9) have been demonstrated to play a key role in the regulation, at ovarian level, of female reproduction. In recent years numerous studies have been performed in order to elucidate the implication of these factors in the ovarian physiopathology. The aim of this manuscript is to describe some of these advances in the context of premature ovarian failure.

Abstract
Premature ovarian failure (POF) occurs in one case of 10,000 in women below the age of 20, one case of 1000 below 30 and 1% in women before the age of 40. In 80% of POF cases, the etiology is unknown, except for Turner syndrome. Spontaneous fertility is very weak, only 3 to 10% of the patients will have natural conception. If the diagnosis is confirmed, ovarian stimulation usually fails. When fertility is desired, the alternative treatments are oocyte and/or embryo donation or adoption and "learn to be happy just in couple". Psychological management is always necessary.

Abstract
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common pathology leading to infertility affecting about 1% of women under 40 years old. In POF patients, the ovarian dysfunction is characterized by the lack of the ovarian response to close a negative feedback loop on the synthesis of pituitary gonadotropins. Although the majority of cases are considered as idiopathic, diverse aetiologies have been associated, including genetic factors. Up to now, the potential genetic causes of non-syndromic POF have been established mainly by genetic linkage analysis of familial cases or by the screening of mutations in candidate genes based on animal models. Here, we review recent advances in the study of candidate genes.
