Abstract
Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is a common sex chromosome disorder with the highest incidence among chromosomal abnormalities. Most of the patients showed short stature, small uterus, ovarian atrophy with a stringy shape, external genital dysplasia, primary amenorrhea, infertility, breast agenesis, and other symptoms which are important causes of female infertility.
Methods: Peripheral blood lymphocytes were cultured with 1,640 medium for 72 hours. The chromosome karyotypes were counted and analyzed after hypotonic operation, fixation, drop operation, and G-banding operation.
Results: The peripheral blood chromosome karyotype of the pregnant woman was 45,X,9qh+[25]/46,XX,9qh+[75]. The case was a patient with chimeric TS, and her chromosome 9 was polymorphic.
Conclusions: The clinical phenotype of patients with chimeric TS cannot be determined solely by chromosome karyotype. The influences of somatic mosaics and X chromosome inactivation and other factors on the clinical phenotype should be considered. This study enriched the theoretical basis for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling of chimeric TS.

Clinical Laboratory is an international fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of laboratory medicine and transfusion medicine. In addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies. The journal publishes original articles, review articles, posters, short reports, case studies and letters to the editor dealing with 1) the scientific background, implementation and diagnostic significance of laboratory methods employed in hospitals, blood banks and physicians'' offices and with 2) scientific, administrative and clinical aspects of transfusion medicine and 3) in addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies.
