Cytogenetic analysis of patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) may fail to detect low levels of Y chromosome mosaicism or Y-derived marker chromosomes. More sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based tests have been developed; however, applicability of these data to prognosis of virilizati

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
We describe the cytogenetic evolution of multiple cell lines in the gonadal tissue of a 10-year-old girl with mosaic Ullrich-Turner syndrome (UTS) involving clonal telomeric associations (tas) of the Y chromosome. Gband analysis of all tissues showed at least 2 cell lines; 45, X and 46,X,tas(Y;21)(q
Here we describe a fetus in whom a cystic hygroma was detected by ultrasound during the second trimester. Autopsy demonstrated a female fetus with manifestations of Ullrich-Turner syndrome, including gonadal dysgenesis, generalized lymphedema, and preductal aortic coarctation. Surprisingly, the kary
