    This study reports the first case of Turner-Down syndrome without X chromosome mosaicism. This finding challenges current explanations for double aneuploidy, suggesting complex nondisjunctional errors.

    Area of Science:

    • Human Genetics
    • Reproductive Biology
    • Clinical Cytogenetics

    Background:

    • Double aneuploidy, specifically the co-occurrence of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Turner syndrome (Monosomy X), is exceptionally rare.
    • Previous cases of Turner-Down syndrome have exclusively exhibited mosaicism for the X chromosome.

    Observation:

    • This report details the first documented patient with Turner-Down syndrome lacking any form of X chromosome mosaicism.
    • The observed chromosomal configuration in this patient is unique among reported cases.

    Findings:

    • The presence of Trisomy 21 and Monosomy X without X mosaicism cannot be explained by a single nondisjunctional event.
    • The study reviews clinical findings and proposes multiple nondisjunctional error mechanisms to account for diverse aneuploidy forms.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of chromosomal abnormalities in double aneuploidy syndromes.
    • It necessitates a re-evaluation of nondisjunction models and their contribution to complex genetic conditions.
