RESUMO
We report on a 23-year-old girl with short stature, short and wide neck, low posterior hairline, hypogonadism, underdeveloped breasts, infantile uterus, ovaries not visualized, and primary amenorrhea. Cytogenetic G-banding analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype of 46,X,dup(X)(q22)[35]/45,X[15], confirming the clinical suspicion of Turner syndrome. Molecular cytogenetics using a multicolor banding probe set for the X-chromosome characterized an inverted dup(X). The karyotype of the patient was therefore interpreted as 46,X,inv dup(X) (pter --> q22::q22 --> pter). This patient had a mosaic Turner syndrome with a cell line comprising partial trisomy Xpter to Xq22 and partial monosomy Xq22 to Xqter.
