Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is a heterogeneous disorder causing infertility, characterized by a decreased number of oocytes, the genetic cause of which is still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe a family with a new unbalanced X;18 translocation der(X) associated with either fully attenuated or DOR phenotype in the same family. Cytogenetics and array comparative genomic hybridization...
