چکیده

The empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is defined as a lack of retrieved oocytes from follicles, at the time of repeated aspiration and flushing, following ovulation induction. The actual mechanism responsible for the EFS is still unknown. The aim of this study was to offer more information regarding the possible connection of this syndrome with pericentric inversion of chromosome 2. We give a case report of a patient who had multiple failed IVF attempts, due to the absence of oocyte and granulosa cells in the follicular fluid, following oocyte retrieval in both stimulated and natural cycles. Chromosomal analysis showed the presence of a pericentric inversion of chromosome 2: 46,XX,inv(2)(p11q21) in the female partner karyotype, while the male partner had a normal karyotype. Our case showed possible genetic factor influence in the aetiology of EFS.

Goldenhar Syndrome and Pericentric Inversion of Chromosome 9

Oculo-auriculovertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar) is a congenital syndrome. Its phenotype differs from craniofacial anomalies to cardiac, vertebral or central nervous system defects. This syndrome is rare and its etiology is not apparent yet. Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations with its incidences 15% to 25%. Herein we present ...

Inherited pericentric inversion of a human Y chromosome in trisomic Down's syndrome.

Chromosomal inversions appear to be common in many organisms, but their frequency in humans is not known. Routine human mitotic chromosome studies have shown few pericentric inversions, and meiotic studies, which can reveal pericentric and paracentric inversions, have been less extensively applied to human chromosomes. The evaluation of possible chromosomal inversions has also been limited by n...

A Rare Case of Pericentric Inversion, Inv (21) (p12;q22) in Repeated Pregnancy Loss: A Case Report.

Pericentric inversions are among the most frequent chromosomal rearrangements with a frequency of 1-2%. There is no phenotypic effect in the majority of pericentric inversion heterozygote carriers, when it is a balanced rearrangement. However, miscarriages, infertility and/or chromosomally unbalanced offspring can be observed in carriers of a pericentric inversion. This is a case of pericentric...
