Ullrich-Turner syndrome occurred in one of a pair of female twins. The chromosome constitution of the affected twin was 45,X/46,XX and that of the normal twin 46,XX. Investigation of banded chromosomes, red cell antigens, HLA types, red cell enzymes, and serum proteins indicates monozygosity. The twins are discordant for height, pterygium colli, ovarian function, strabismus, dental eruption, external ear formation, hearing loss, and performance scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Test. All of these differences can be attributed to X monosomy in one cell line in the affected twin, presumably resulting from mitotic nondisjunction or anaphase lag early during embryonic development. Ten other pairs of apparently monozygotic twins discordant for the Ullrich-Turner syndrome have been reported previously, and the findings in these cases are reviewed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
