Deletion of the short arm of the X chromosome: a hereditary form of Turner syndrome.
In the mothers of two girls with Turner syndrome due to a deletion of the short arm of an X chromosome, the same chromosomal anomaly was detected. Both mothers and daughters had short stature but normal pubertal development. Short parents and normal pubertal development do not exclude Turner syndrome in a girl with small stature.
