MacMahon J , Morrissey R , McDermott M , O'Sullivan M , Quinn F , Green A , Lynch S A , O'Connell S M

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common genetic disorders in females and occurs in phenotypic females who are missing all or part of one sex chromosome. While the most common mosaic forms of the disorder are 45,X/46,XX and 45,X/46,Xiq, mosaicism for cells containing Y chromosome material is well documented.Objective and hypotheses: Owing to increased risk of gonadoblastoma (GB), current recommendations are for elective gonadectomy foll...

Background: Mosaic Turner syndrome (TSM) commonly occurs in the form of 45,X/46,XX and 45,X/46,Xiq, although mosaicism including the presence of a Y chromosome has been well documented. It is associated with increased risk of gonadoblastoma (GB).Objective and hypotheses: To date, there are only six reported cases of TSM with a trisomy 18 karyotype, and only two of these were phenotypically female with 45,X, 47,XY+18 karyotype.Metho...
