β¦ Synopsis
A 12-year-old girl with small stature and a hypertrophic clitoris was found to be mosaic for 45,X/46,X.dic(Y)(qtertop11:p11toqter)/46,XX/47,XX,dic(Y)(qtertop11:p11toqter). The dicentric chromosome was identified using Q-banding. These findings indicate mitotic instability of the dicentric Y, as well as the presence of an X chromosome in this patient.

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
A 6-year-old girl of small stature and with some features of Turner's syndrome was found to have a karyotype with two-thirds of the cells possessing one, and one-third with two dicentric iso-long arm Y chromosomes. In metaphases with 46 chromosomes the majority of the abnormal Ys exhibited two prima
We present a prenatal case with a 45,X,dic(Y;15) (q11.23;p11.1) karyotype and describe the inheritance pattern of the chromosome 15s. Chromosome 15 has an imprinted region and inheritance of both chromosome 15 from one parent results in either Angelman syndrome (AS) (paternal inheritance) or Prader
