In this report we describe a deletion of the short arm of the X chromosome in a 16-year-old female with gonadal dysgenesis. The breakpoint was localized by BUdR treatment and acridine orange staining in region 2, band 2. Of the examined cells, 3% showed an early replication of the deleted X chromoso

A patient with gonadal dysgenesis and 46 chromosomes is described. In the inactive X chromosome there seems to be a deletion of the short arms and an insertion of heterochromatin in the long arms. The most probable mechanism to explain this structurally abnormal X is a pericentric inversion, with br
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
