A rare association of chromosomal, immunological and endocrine defects is described in a young woman with short stature, recurrent pulmonary infections and primary amenorrhea. Cytogenetic studies showed a 45, X karyotype in 65% of peripheral blood lymphocytes and 46,Xr(X) (p22q27) karyotype in the remaining 35%. Severe immunodeficiency was revealed by phenotypical and functional studies and a selective gonadotropin defect was disclosed by endocrinological investigations. An attempt is made to explain the coexistence of the three abnormal pictures.

D005260 Female Females
D006065 Gonadotropins, Pituitary Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) that stimulate gonadal functions in both males and females. They include FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE that stimulates germ cell maturation (OOGENESIS; SPERMATOGENESIS), and LUTEINIZING HORMONE that stimulates the production of sex steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE; ANDROGENS). Pituitary Gonadotropins

D012303 Ring Chromosomes Aberrant chromosomes with no ends, i.e., circular. Chromosomes, Ring,Chromosome, Ring,Ring Chromosome
D014424 Turner Syndrome A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.
