Abstract
An attempt has been made to find out the proportion of genetic causes in cases of primary amenorrhoea and to analyse different chromosomal pattern. Cases were analysed according to clinical profile, X-ray, laparoscopy/pneumography, hormone profile, USG, Gonadal Biopsy and Cytogenetic study including Sex Chromatin (Barr body) and Karyotyping. Among the 72 cases studied, the aetiological factors were Mullerian duct abnormalities in 27 cases (37.5%) Gonadal agenesis in 13 cases (18.05%). Turner stigmata in 18 cases (25%), Y cell line in 6 cases (8.33%). Delayed menarche in 4 cases (5.55%), systemic disease like Tuberculosis and Idiopathic 2 cases (2.77%) each. Chromosomal aberration was seen in 24 cases (33.33%) and it comes second most common cause of primary amenorrhoea after mullerian duct abnormalities.
