Abstract A patient is described with some features of the Turner syndrome (dwarfism, pterygium colli, hypoplasia mandibulae and syndactylism) but with normal genital development.* In the skin 9.6% of the nuclei were Barr-positive. Skin and blood-cultures revealed that she was a mosaic with an XO and an X-ring cell-line. The ring-chromosome is assumed to be derived from an X-chromosome. A possible explanation for the existence of patients with some features of the Turner syndrome and normal genital development is discussed.
