✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study was to analyze the cervical skeleton in fetuses with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (45,X) in a search for skeletal characteristics in the neck region affected by hygroma. In connection with requested autopsies, 9 second trimester human fetuses were investigated radiographically by whole-body and special radiography of the spine. The presence of unilateral or bilateral cervical ribs was a constant finding which seems applicable as a phenotypic characteristic of Ullrich-Turner syndrome. This study may also be important in the diagnosis of newborn infants with Ullrich-Turner syndrome.

We analyzed the total hand length (HL) and length of noncarpal bones (NCL) in 50 Japanese patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) and in 443 other patients with short stature used as controls. In each patient group we calculated relative HL (RHL= HL/ height) and relative NCL (RNCL= NCL/ height).

In six fetuses with Meckel syndrome (gestational age 16-23 weeks, crown-rump length 130-170 mm) the skeleton was examined as part of the autopsy procedure using whole body radiography and special radiographic techniques. In the upper and lower limbs we found similar types of polydactyly. We noted fo

Cytogenetic studies have shown that 40-60% of patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) are 45,X, whereas the rest have structural aberrations of the X chromosome or mosaicism with a second cell line containing a structurally normal or abnormal X or Y chromosome.
