Summary
Eleven patients were clinically studied, nine with a idic(X)(p11) karyotype, one with a idic(X)(p22) and one with a i(Xq) karyotype. The clinical findings in these patients were compared with the clinical sings of similar cases found in the literature. The relationship between these karyotypes and the Turner phenotype is discussed.
