Cytogenetic studies were performed in six clinically typical cases of Turner's syndrome. In five of them an XO chromosome complement was observed. In the sixth case the chromosome number appeared normal, but karyotype analysis revealed the presence of three large metacentric chromosomes similar to No. 3. A diagnosis of presumptive isochromosome for the long arm of X was suggested by the autoradiographic evidence of late replication and by the presence of larger than normal Barr bodies and drumsticks.
