title: Duplication in the long arm of the X-chromosome associated with spastic paraparesis and premature menopause.
abstract: In this report we describe a 24-year-old mentally normal female with spastic paraparesis, premature menopause and with a duplication of Xq22.3-->q27.3. The relationship between the X-chromosomal anomaly and the gonadal and neurological symptoms is discussed.
