Silver-staining of the nucleolus organizer region, which represents transcription of ribosomal ribonucleic acid genes, was herein studied in the acrocentric chromosomes of a patient with premature ovarian failure. The demonstration of an additional nucleolar organizer region in the peripheral lymphocytes, suggests a causal relationship between transcriptive activity and this type of ovarian failure.
