Both her daughters had caryotype 45X, butdifferent phenotype. The older daughter had typical signs of TS (small stature, pterygium colli, streak gonads) andautoimmune thyroiditis. The younger daughter had adequate stature, lacked typical signs of TS, but suffered fromoligomenorrhea. The authors draw attention to the risk of reproduction in women with the mosaic form.
