PURPOSE: to asses the prevalence and clinical characteristics of couples with history of recurrent spontaneous abortion and chromosome abnormality, attended at the present service. METHODS: all the couples referred to our service due to history of recurrent spontaneous abortion, from January 1975 to June 2008, were evaluated. Only the ones whose chromosome karyotype analysis by GTG bands has been successfully made were included in the study. Clinical data on their age, as well as on the number of abortions, stillbirth, multiple malformations, livebirth per couple, and the result of the karyotype exam were collected. Fisher's exact test (p<0.05) has been used to compare the incidence of chromosome alterations found in our study, with data in the literature. RESULTS: there were 108 couples in the sample. Their ages varied from 21 to 58 years old among the men (average of 31.4 years old), and from 19 to 43 among the women (average of 29.9 years old). In ten couples, one of the mates (9.3%) presented chromosome alterations, which corresponded respectively to three cases (30%) of reciprocal translocation [two of t(5;6) and one of t(2;13)], two (20%) of Robertsonian translocation [two of der(13;14) and one of der(13;15)], five(50%) of mosaicism (mos) [two cases of mos 45,X/46,XX, one of mos 46,XX/47,XXX, one of mos 46,XY/47,XXY and one of mos 46,XY/47,XYY] and one (10%) of chromosome inversion [inv(10)]. In one of the couples, the female presented two concomitant alterations: t(2;13) and der(13;14). Chromosome abnormalities were found in 5% of the couples with a history of two abortions, in 10.3% with three abortions, and in 14.3% with four or more abortions. CONCLUSIONS: the incidence of chromosome abnormalities seen in our study (9.3%) was similar to most of the studies carried out in the last 20 years, varying from 4.8 to 10.8%. Nevertheless the high percentage of patients with mosaicism in our sample, has called our attention. It is believed that this fact may be associated to the high number of metaphases ordinarily analyzed in the present service.

PURPOSE: to verify the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with primary amenorrhea and XY caryotype, evaluated in our Service, aiming at identifying findings which could help their recognition. METHODS: from January 1975 to November 2007, 104 patients with amenorrhea were evaluated. All the cases were analyzed by the caryotype by GTG bands. Among them, 21 (20.2%) presented a XY 46 constitution. Nevertheless, two of them were excluded from the study, because of incomplete data in their patient's chart. Most of the 19 patients who formed the sample had been referred to us by the gynecology clinics (63.2%). Their ages varied from 16 to 41 years old (an average of 22.1). Data were collected about their family and previous history, physical examination and results of complementary exams and the information was taken into consideration to determine the diagnosis. RESULTS: the predominant diagnosis was resistance to androgens syndrome (n=12; 63.2%); five patients (25.3%) presented XY pure gonadal dysgenesis (XY PGD), one (5.3%) 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, and one (5.3%), 5 alpha-reductase deficiency. Clinical findings frequently found in these patients included abnormal development of secondary sexual characters (n=19), uterine agenesia with a blind vagina (n=14), family history of amenorrhea (n=8), and palpable gonads in the inguinal canal (n=5). Two of them presented a history of inguinal hernia. Systemic arterial hypertension was only diagnosed in the patient with 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency, and gonadal malignization, in the one with XY PGD. CONCLUSIONS: the rate of patients with XY caryotype (20%) was higher than the one described in the literature (3 to 11%). It is believed that this fact is related to the way patients are usually referred to our service. Some findings from the clinical history and from the physical examination should be evaluated as a routine in individuals with primary amenorrhea. This way, there would be a more precocious detection of XY 46 patients, and a better clinical management of them, as a consequence.

PURPOSE: to correlate the clinical manifestations of patients with amenorrhea and X chromosome abnormalities. METHODS: a retrospective analysis of the clinical and laboratorial findings of patients with amenorrhea and abnormalities of X chromosome, attended between January 1975 and November 2007 was performed. Their anthropometric measures were evaluated through standard growth tables, and, when present, minor and major anomalies were noted. The chromosomal study was performed through the GTG banded karyotype. RESULTS: from the total of 141 patients with amenorrhea, 16% presented numerical and 13% structural abnormalities of X chromosome. From these patients with X chromosome abnormalities (n=41), 35 had a complete clinical description. All presented hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism. Primary amenorrhea was observed in 24 patients, 91.7% of them with a Turner syndrome phenotype. Despite a case with Xq22-q28 deletion, all patients with this phenotype presented alterations involving Xp (one case with an additional cell lineage 46,XY). The two remaining patients with only primary amenorrhea had proximal deletions of Xq. Among the 11 patients with secondary amenorrhea, 54.5% presented a Turner phenotype (all with isolated or mosaic X chromosome monosomy). Patients with phenotype of isolated ovarian failure had only Xq deletions and X trisomy. CONCLUSIONS: the cytogenetic analysis must always be performed in women with ovarian failure of unknown cause, even in the absence of clinical dysmorphic features. This analysis is also extremely relevant in syndromic patients, because it can either confirm the diagnosis or identify patients in risk, like the cases involving a 46,XY lineage.
