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. However, molecular analysis has de

The Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS) is a well-defined entity characterized by growth and mental retardation, broad thumbs and halluces, and typical face. The RTS locus was assigned to 16p13.3, and interstitial submicroscopic deletions of this region (RT1 cosmid, D16S237) were initially identified in
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).
We describe a unique patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome and a 47,XXY karyotype. Androgen receptor assay using cultured pubic skin fibroblasts showed no androgen-binding capacity. Sequence analysis of the androgen receptor gene demonstrated two nonsense mutations, one in exon D and
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a sex chromosome abnormality occurring in 1 in 1,000 males. An association with leukemia, germ cell tumor, and male breast cancer has been suggested in KS. Such information is important for professionals caring for KS patients as the condition is frequently not clinicall
