Mosaic Turner Syndrome
The genetic diagnosis of mosaic Turner syndrome may require the examination of many, many blood cells, and/or the examination of other cell types, such as skin cells.
The genotype of mosaic Turner syndrome is usually specified as 45,X (10)/46,XX (90) to indicate, for example, that 10 percent of cells examined were found to have X monosomy.
