A series of fibroblasts from patients with numerical or structural aberrations of the X chromosome were scored for the amount of mRNA of ribosomal protein S4 (RPS4X). Haplo-insufficiency of this gene has been reported previously to be a possible cause of Turner syndrome. Our results show that the tr

## Abstract We observed a boy with short stature, chondrodysplasia punctata, ichthyosis, and a terminal deletion of Xp. Steroid sulfatase deficiency was demonstrated in the patient's fibroblasts. Molecular analysis showed a deletion of the entire steroid sulfatase gene. This case represents another
The effect of post-treatments with caffeine in G2 on the frequency of X-ray-induced chromatid aberrations was studied in normal and ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) fibroblast and lymphoblastoid cells. Caffeine was found to potentiate the X-ray-induced aberration yield in both normal fibroblast and lymph
