β¦ Synopsis
Mosaic trisomy 22, ascertained in three unrelated patients, was found to be associated with body asymmetry and signs of the Ullrich-Turner syndrome including short stature, ptosis, webbed neck, nevi, cubitus valgus, dysplastic nails, malformed great vessels, and abnormal ovaries. These anomalies in trisomy 22 mosaicism have not been emphasized heretofore. In each of our patients, trisomy 22 mosaicism was found only in fibroblasts. In one patient, the trisomy resulted from a paternal first meiotic nondisjunction, and in the 46,XX cells, both chromosomes 22 were of paternal origin.

## Abstract UllrichβTurner syndrome (UTS) is most commonly due to a 45,X chromosome defect, but is also seen in patients with a variety of Xβchromosome abnormalities or 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. The phenotype of UTS patients is highly variable, and depends largely on the karyotype. Patients are at an i
There is a well-known association between neurofibromatosis-l(NF'1) and Noonan syndrome-like manifestations, including short stature, short broad neck, and hypertelorism. These anomalies are thought to be due to variable expression of the NF1 gene. W e report on two girls with NF'1 who were found to
