Abstract

Summary: A short female with several stigmata of Turner's syndrome was investigated for infertility. She was found to be mosaic for a ring X chromosome and a 45, X cell line in peripheral blood, but skin culture showed only 45, X cells. Gynaecological investigation revealed endometriosis and there was clear evidence that this patient ovulated.
