Extract

Abnormalities of sex chromosomes are associated with various forms of neuropsychiatric disorder, and Polani (1969) has reviewed the literature. While there were numerous reports associating the XXY and XXX constitutions with psychiatric disorder, the position was somewhat different with regard to Turner's syndrome. The purpose of this paper is to describe a patient who was shown to have the clinical pattern of Turner's Syndrome and an XO/XX/XXX mosaic chromosome pattern, and who presented with a schizophrenic illness.
