A 41-year-old female patient with mental retardation and generalized epileptic seizure had a nonmosaic idic (X) (pter-q21.32::q21.32-pter) chromosome in peripheral lymphocytes and bone marrow cells. Primary amenorrhea, myelodysplastic syndrome, pigmented nevi and characteristic facial appearance were also observed. A few cases with the nonmosaic idic (X) (q::q) with various breakpoints reported previously commonly showed ovarian failure with dysfunction of relevant hormone. CNS abnormalities of the present case were demonstrated by CT, MRI and SPECT using 123I-IMP. CNS abnormalities were considered to be possibly due to karyotype with a nonmosaic idic (X) (q21.32).

Purpose: Sex chromosome abnormalities are associated with male infertility. The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings of 12 infertile men with isodicentric Y-chromosome [idic(Y)] abnormalities diagnosed over a period of 13 years.
Materials And Methods: Chromosomal analyses of peripheral blood samples were done using standard procedures.

Azoospermia is diagnosed when no spermatozoa can be detected after centrifugation of seminal fluid on at least two separate occasions. A number of genetic disorders can be related to nonobstructive azoospermia, and in up to 15% of azoospermic males, a genetic disorder is diagnosed. A 36-year-old male with nonobstructive azoospermia was referred to our department of diabetes and endocrinology due to an aberrant testicular biopsy.

Isodicentric chromosome is a chromosomal aberration in which two arms of a chromosome are identical in morphology and genetics and connected by two centromeres. We firstly reported a case of infertile male with nonmosaic 46, X, idic (Y) (qter-p11.

Background: Isodicentric Y chromosomes [idic(Y)] are one of the most common structural abnormalities of the Y chromosome. The prenatal diagnosis of isodicentric Y chromosomes is of vital importance, and the postnatal phenotypes vary widely. Therefore, we present six patients prenatally diagnosed with isodicentric Y chromosomes and review the literature concerning the genotype-phenotype correlations.
