Summary
A 27-year-old patient of short stature with primary amenorrhea and other slight Turner signs showed a 46,XX,del(X) (qter→p11:) karyotype, identified by a combination of fluorescence and giemsa-banding technique. By BUdR incorporation the deleted X chromosome was shown to be the late replicating one.
