This paper presents a female patient with primary amenorrhea in whose karyotype an aberrant X chromosome was present. The chromosome resulted from the fusion of two X chromosomes at distal parts of the long arm and from the loss of the segment q24 leads to qter. The clinical and cytogenetic picture
Cytogenetic analyses have previously shown that the region Xq11.2-q21 is retained in all structurally abnormal X chromosomes. From these observations the conclusion has been drawn that this "critical region" on the proximal long arm of the X chromosome contains the locus controlling X-inactivation.
