Sreelakshmi Kodandapani et al. J Hum Reprod Sci. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

Genetic aberrations comprise one-third of women with premature ovarian aging (POA). X chromosome abnormalities are seen in these women. We report a case of a 29-year-old lady with primary infertility and POA. She was phenotypically normal and her basal follicle stimulating hormone level was above the age-specific cut-off. Karyotype was triple X syndrome.

Keywords: Karyotype; premature ovarian aging; triple X syndrome.
