Abstract
We report on an Indian patient who has premature ovarian failure with primary amenorrhea as well as a hormone level increased for LH and FSH but decreased for TSH. She has a balanced complex translocation with three breakpoints in the X chromosome that were located by fluorescence in situ hybridization by chromosome microdissection, but no breakpoints localized in the critical regions for premature ovarian failure on the XÂ chromosome. The breakpoint in Xq24 may be associated with the amenorrhea.
