Abstract:
A complex mosaicism involving the X chromosome was found in a 35-year-old female affected by secondary amenorrhea and short stature. Her karyotype was: 45,X[20]/46,X,del(X)(pter-->q26::qter)[15]/46,X,idic(X)(pter-->q26::q26-->pter)[9]. No cell contained both abnormal X chromosomes. This observation would suggest a possible mechanism underlying the formation of isodicentric chromosomes.
