title: Low serum alpha-fetoprotein level and sex chromosome monosomy.
abstract: A case of 45,X karyotype in association with low maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein levels is reported. Previous cases of trisomy have been linked to low alpha-fetoprotein levels. Cases of sex chromosome aneuploidy may be included in the group of aneuploidies with low levels of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein.
