title: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) and r(X). Tentative mapping of the IP locus to the X juxtacentromeric region.
abstract: A 45,X/46,X,r(X) mosaicism was observed in an incontinentia pigmenti (Bloch-Sulzberger form) female patient, with mental retardation, short stature, and minor dysmorphisms. This observation is compatible with the regional assignment of the incontinentia pigmenti locus to the juxta-centromeric region of the X, the r(X) being of very small size.
