✦ Synopsis


A 12-year-old girl was examined for growth retardation and a few very discrete dysmorphologic stigmata of Turner's syndrome; the genitalia were infantile yet both ovaries possessed functioning follicles. R- and C-banding techniques and Brdu treatment demonstrated a 45,X formula in 95% of lymphocytes, with 5% presenting a 46,X,dic(X) formula. Cytogenetic and clinical problems raised by this observation are discussed in relation to data from the literature.

An 11-year-old girl with karyotype 45,X/46,X,dic(X) (Xqter leads to p22::p22 leads to qter) is presented. The abnormal X is always found to be the inactive and late replicating X, and according to previous investigations by Therman et al. (1974) part of the cells are seen to have bipartite Barr bodi
