At present, estimation of the ovarian follicle reserve is based on endocrine capacity tests of the ovaries, with increased FSH representing the first sign of exocrine ovarian failure. We report the case of one of our amenorrhoeic patients after chemotherapy, total body radiation and allogenic bone marrow transplantation for acute immunoblastic leukaemia. This patient was included in an in vitro fertilization with oocyte donation (IVF-OD) programme for iatrogenic premature ovarian failure with increased FSH levels. Instead of high levels of gonadotrophins, this young woman recovered spontaneous follicular development, benefited from standard IVF with her own oocytes and brought a twin pregnancy to term. This observation shows that a high FSH level is not a definitive prediction of ovarian exocrine capacity.

This is based on in situ hybridization of labelled oligonucleotides. The efficiency of the methodology was demonstrated on cytogenetic preparations from human heteroploid and human x hamster hybrid cell lines and also on frozen tissue sections using an oligonucleotide specific for the alpha-satellite DNA of chromosome 1. Three versions of this oligonucleotide respectively labelled with 1, 4 and 10 fluorescein molecules were synthesized. The signal intensity provided by the oligonucleotide coupled with 4 fluoresceins allowed unambiguously the detection of the chromosome and the establishment of its ploidy using a classical cytogenetic microscope without the need for an amplification procedure. The use of different fluorochromes and possibly combination with an unlabelled elongation in 3' of the oligonucleotides which stabilize its hybridization, lead to a simple multicolour method. Preliminary quantification of the signals obtained by in situ hybridization of labelled oligonucleotides and comparison with those obtained by primed in situ labelling (PRINS) using the same nucleotides as primers, suggest that the elongation generated by PRINS may be very short compared with a PCR in solution. This limited efficiency of the in situ elongation may reflect the present difficulties of PRINS and DISC PCR (direct in situ single copy polymerase chain reaction) with primers specific for non-repetitive sequencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10555,"journal":{"name":"Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences.
