## Abstract We report on an adolescent girl with premature ovarian failure (POF), de novo unbalanced translocation X;15(q24;q26.3) with partial Xq24 duplication, and absence of pubic and axillary hair. Endocrine assessment showed normal adrenal and ovarian function. Chromosomal abnormality was iden

β¦ Synopsis
Cytogenetic studies on a woman with primary amenorrhea showed an X;15 translocation, karyotype 46,X,t(X; 15)(q2 1 ;q23). Fifteen percent of the buccal cells showed a normal-sized sex chromatin body. The normal X chromosome was uniforrniy inactivated. Many baianced X; 15 translocations have been reported; however, breakpoints in our patient differ from those reported previously. This case also supports earlier evidence that ovarian development fails when the breakpoint of the X chromosome is in the region X q13-q25 or q13-q27.
