An uncommon phenotypical variant in the Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome.
Three young girls of short stature and with somatic anomalies typical for the Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome are described. Signs of sexual maturation and menarche appeared on time. Later on, menstrual periods came to resemble juvenile bleedings. Karyotypes determined in lymphocyte culture were 45,X/46,XX/47,XXX; 45,X/46,XXp-; and 46,XXp-, respectively. A possibility of spontaneous sexual maturation in patients with the Shereshevsky-Turner syndrome is discussed.
