Abstract:
Post-mortem examination of a 20-week fetus showed incompletely masculinised external genitalia, hypoplastic adrenal glands and minor physical stigmata suggestive of a chromosome abnormality. Gonad and skin were karyotyped and both were found to contain two cell lines, 45,X and 69,XXY. It appears this fetus is a true 45,X/69,XXY mosaic.
