To study the X chromesome mosaicism in the cytogenetically pure 45,X Turner syndrome patients, we applied PCR technique using DNAs extracted from archived cytogenetic slides. We amplified the DNAs using nested primers targeted to a highly polymorphic short tandem repeat(STR) of the human androgen receptor gene(HUMARA) for the detection of X chromosome mosaicism. This assay is a very sensitive and useful method which can be applied to the DNAs extracted from archived cytogenetic slides to detect X mosaicism. We have tested 50 normal Korean females to determine whether the HUMARA locus is highly polymorphic among Koreans. 85% of Korean population showed heterozygosity in the HUMARA locus. We analysed the 24 DNAs extracted from archived slides of patients and abortuses with Turner syndrome in cytogenetic analysis. We observed the heterozygosities of 50% from pure 45,X patients, 83% from the patients with mosaic Turner syndrome and 8.3% from the abortuses of pure 45,X. Using the PCR technique of the HUMARA locus in the archived cytogenetic slides, we detected X chromosome mosaicism which could not be detected in cytogenetic analysis.

목적 : Turner 증후군의 임상양상은 핵형에 따라 차이가 있으며, 특히 왜소증및 외관상 특징은 X 염색체의 단완의 결실과 관련이 있으며 생식선 부전에 따른 임상증상은 주로 X 염색체의 장완의 결실과 관계가 있다고 알려져 있다. 여러 동반 기형외에도 신기형의 동반도 흔하게 보고되어 왔는데, 과거에는 50% 이상에서 동반된다고 하였으며, 최근에는 염색체 핵형에 따라 차이가 있음이 보고되었다. 이에 저자들은 한국 소아 Turner 증후군 환자에서 신기형의 동반율을 알아보고, 염색체 핵형에 따른 신기형의 동반율에 차이가 있는지 알아 보고자 본 연구를 시작하였다. 방법 : 염색체 검사를 시행하여 Turner 증후군으로 진단된 81명중 복부 초음파 검사를 시행하여 신기형의 유무를 알아냈던 76명을 대상으로 전형적인 45,XO,mosaicism인 경우, X염색체의 구조적 이상이 있는 경우로 나누어 신기형의 빈도를 비교 분석하였다. 결과 : 1) 염색체의 핵형은 전형적인 45,XO가 29례로 38%, mosaicism이 30례로 40%, 구조적 이상을 보인 경우가 17례로 22%이었다. 2) 각 핵형별 신기형의 동반율은 전형적인 Turner 증후군에서 5례로 17%, mosaicism인 경우 1례로 3.3%, 구조적 이상이 있었던 경우 1례로 6%를 보였다. 3) Turner 증후군에서 신기형의 동반율은 76례중 7례로 9.2%이었다. 4) 핵형간(전형적인 45,XO vs mosaicism)의 신기형의 동반율에는 통계적 차이는 없었다. (p>0.05) 결론 : 한국 소아 Turner 증후군 환자에서의 신기형의 동반율은 다른 외국 보고에 비해 매우 낮으며, 전형적인 45,XO형과 mosaicism Turner 증후군 간에 신기 형의 동반율에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나 전형적인 45,XO 형에서 신기형 동반율이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to review and evaluate a total of 2,463 cases of human chromosomal analysis at Kwangju Christian Hospital from 1974 to 2004. We collected 2.0-3.0ml of human peripheral blood in heparized bottle. Then, we cultured it for 72 hours. We performed GTG-banding and chromosomal kayotyping analysis by Cytovision kayotyping system. Abnormal karyotypes were observed in 30.5% of the total cases (750/2,463). Autosome and sex chromosome anomalies were observed in 25.8% (635/2,463) and 4.7% (115/2,463) respectively. In a total of 2463 cases, there were 522 (22.4%) cases of Down's syndrome karyotype, and 67 (2.7%) cases of Turner syndrome. In conclusion, Down's syndrome has decreased after the end of the 1990s, but other (Turner syndrome et al.) chromosomal abnormal cases haven't decreased after the1970s.

The purpose of this study is to investigate .the cytogenetic characteristics of the Turner's syndrome in Korea. For this study selected were eighty-two patients with Turner's syndrome, who were diagnosed by the chromosomal analyses of the cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes, at the Cytogenetic Laboratory, Institute of Reproductive Medicine and Population, College of Medicine, Seoul National University, for the period of 11 years and 6 months from May 1971 through November 1982. Among the 82 patients with Turner's syndrome, 21 (25.6%) had 45,X karyotype, 57 (69.4%) had mosaicism of 45,X/46,XX (39), 45, X/46, XX/47, XXX (9), 45, X/47, XXX (5), 45, X/46, XY (4). Remaining 4 patients had 46, $XX_{p-}$, 46, $XX_{q-}$and 46,X,i($X_q$), respectively.

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder in phenotypic females that has characteristic physical features and presents as partial or complete absence of the second sex chromosome. Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a condition caused by insufficient release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The concomitant occurrence of TS and GHD is rare and has not yet been reported in Korea. Here we report 2 cases of TS and GHD. In case 1, GHD was initially diagnosed. Karyotyping was performed because of the presence of the typical phenotype and poor response to growth hormone therapy, which revealed 45,X/45,X+mar. The patient showed increased growth velocity after the growth hormone dose was increased. In case 2, a growth hormone provocation test and chromosomal analysis were performed simultaneously because of decreased growth velocity and the typical TS phenotype, which showed GHD and a mosaic karyotype of 45,X/46,XX. The patient showed spontaneous pubertal development. In female patients with short stature, it is important to perform a throughout physical examination and test for hormonal and chromosomal abnormalities because diagnostic accuracy is important for treatment and prognosis.

We collected a total of 109 patients with intersex during the past 16 years (1966-1982). They were summerized as follows: Klinefelter's syndrome, the most common disease, was found in 76 cases, Turner's syndrome in 3 cases, true hermaphroditism in 5 cases, male pseudohermaphroditism in 5 cases, female pseudohermaphroditism in 13 cases and others in 7 cases in which 2 cases of XX male syndrome, 1 case of agonadism, 1 case of hernia uteri inguinale and 3 cases of unclassified intersex were included. 2 mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome showed 46/47 XX/XXY and 1 mosaic Turner's syndrome showed 45/46 XO/XX. The 5 patients with true hermaphroditism included 2 cases that had an ovary on one side and a testis on the other, 1 case, seperate ovary and testis on each side, 1 case, an ovary on one side and a seperate testis and ovary on the other and 1 case, an ovary on one side and an ovotestis on the other. Sex chromosome study on the true hermaphroditism revealed 46 XX in 2 patients and 46/46 XX/XY mosaicism in 3 patients. In male pseudohermaphroditism, all patients had a short and blind vagina. Of which, familial tendency was found in 1 case. Her sister had operation for sex reversal for female. In female psedohermaphroditism, all the patients were adrenogenital syndrome. Operations for clitoridectomy and vaginoplasty were performed on 10 patients. Hydrocortisone was given to 6 patients. Menstruation started to occur 6 months and 4 months after the medical therapy respectively in 2 cases.

A 32-year-old woman diagnosed with Turner syndrome presented to the hospital for an evaluation of cardiovascular complications. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) and echocardiography showed progression of aortic root and ascending aorta dilatation, as well as a bicuspid aortic valve. There was no evidence of aortic regurgitation. We planned valve-sparing aortic root replacement and ascending aorta replacement with a high risk of aortic rupture. Intraoperatively, we incidentally found a juxtacommissural origin of the right coronary artery (RCA). We performed aortic valve reimplantation using a graft designed with a key-shaped hole to wrap the juxtacommissural-origin RCA by modifying the Florida sleeve technique. Coronary blood flow was patent on postoperative CT angiography, and there was no evidence of aortic regurgitation on postoperative echocardiography. The patient was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7 without any complications.

A 15-year-old female with primary amenorrhea and Tuner's syndrome feature was referred for a chromosome analysis. The karyotype of the patient was 45,X/46,X,der(Y) mosaicism under initial GTG-banding analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with probe for CEP X probes and SRY probe (Vysis, Inc. Downers Grove, IL 60515, USA) was carried out. This probe is direct labeled with SpectrumOrange (SRY, Yp11.3) and is available as a single probe or mixed with the CEP X SpectrumGreen probe. SRY SpectrumOrange/CEP X SpectrumGreen hybridized to a specimen obtained from an two isodicentric Y chromosomes. The karyotype of the patient was ish Xcen(DXZ1x1)/Xcen(DXZ1x1), Yp11.3(SRYx2) by using FISH. This karyotype was considered a variant of Tuner syndrome with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD), male pseudohermaphroitism (MPH) and apparently normal male.
