    Exome and copy number variation analyses of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster– Hauser syndrome

    by Kazumi Takahashi, Takahide Hayano, Ryota Sugimoto, Hirofumi Kashiwagi, Mari Shinoda, Yoshihiro Nishijima, Takahiro Suzuki, Shingo Suzuki, Yuko Ohnuki, Akane Kondo, et al.

    Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by congenital absence of the vagina and uterus. We conducted genome-wide SNP analyses and exome sequencing to detect the causes of MRKH syndrome. We identified de novo variants of MYCBP2, NAV3, and PTPN3 in three families and a variant of MYCBP2 in a sporadic case. Here, we demonstrated the partial genetic makeup of Japanese MRKH syndrome.

    Laparoscopic Davydov Procedure for the Creation of a Neovagina in Patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome: Analysis of 7 Cases.

    Several surgical techniques have been described for creating a neovagina in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, however as yet there is no standardized treatment. The aim of this report is to assess anatomic and functional outcomes after the laparoscopic Davydov procedure for the creation of a neovagina in patients with MRKH syndrome. Seven patients with MRKH syndrome underwent the laparoscopic Davydov technique from January 2005 to August 2010. The anatomic and functional results were evaluated after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months. The surgical procedure was performed with no major complications except in one case in which an intraoperative bladder injury occurred and was successfully corrected. The mean duration of surgery was 162.9 minutes (range, 120-230 min). Mean lengths/widths (cm) of the neovagina were 6.4/2.6, 6.5/2.5, 6.5/2.8, 6.4/2.8, 7.1/2.8, and 7.2/2.8 at 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 postoperative months, respectively. The laparoscopic Davydov procedure seems to be a safe and effective surgical treatment for patients with MRKH syndrome if postoperative intermittent self dilation was done.
