title: [Chromosomal polymorphism in patients with otospongiosis].
abstract: Cytogenetic examinations were performed on 18 patients with surgically verified otosclerosis. In comparison with 15 healthy patients satellites in the somatic chromosomes of D and G groups were found to occur significantly more frequently (p less than 0.005). Moreover, among the patients a case of 45,X karyotype with clinically incomplete Turner syndrome has been disclosed. The results obtained seem to support genetic hypothesis of otospongiosis pathogenesis.
