✦ Synopsis

Overweight patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) and control children with similar weightheight and indices of overweight were studied to clarify the unique fat distribution in the syndrome. Triceps and ulnar skinfold thickness (SFT) in UTS patients was s i g nificantly less than that of obese children without the syndrome. The means of SFT at the subscapular and paraumbilical regions were also less in the patients than control girls, though significance was not documented. Thus, increased body weight in UTS children seems mainly to be due to excess of adipose tissue, not in the limbs but on the trunk, andlor due to the increment of lean body mass.

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).

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
