A Turner Syndrome Patient Carrying a Mosaic Distal X Chromosome Marker by Roberto L. P. Mazzaschi, Juliet Taylor, Stephen P. Robertson, Donald R. Love, Alice M. George

“…This case report has a phenotype that is largely discordant with previously published cases as it lies at the severe end of the Turner variant phenotype scale. The observed cytogenetic abnormalities in this study may represent a coincidental finding, but we cannot exclude the possibility that the marker has a nonfunctioning X chromosome inactivation locus, leading to functional disomy of those genes carried by the marker.…”
