[A case of X/X translocation: t(X;X) (q26;p11)]

An eight-year old girl showing a X/X-translocation (45,X/46,Xt(X;X)(q26;p11)) is presented. Besides short stature and congenital heart-anomaly no other phenotypical abnormalities were present. In all cells containing the abnormal X-chromosome, the latter was late labeling as shown by autoradiography and BrdU-labeling.
