A variety of distinct phenotypes has been associated with supernumerary inv dup( 15) chromosomes. Although different cytogenetic rearrangements have been associated with distinguishable clinical syndromes, precise genotype-phenotype correlations have not been determined. However, the availability of
Blood samples of an 8-year-old girl with Turner syndrome were examined using cytogenetic and molecular methods. Chromosomal analyses revealed a mosaic karyotype consisting of 25% 47,X,der(X),+r(X) and 75% 46,X,der(X) cells. Southern blot hybridizations with Y-specific DNA probes excluded a Y chromos
