The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of Turner mosaic variant with multidisciplinary management.
Turner syndrome is a complex developmental disorder in individuals with short stature associated with 45X genotype. A mixture of genotypes are also present in approximately 50% of all cases. Individuals with a mosaic 45 X/46XY genotype have a variety of phenotypic presentations, which are not correlated with the percentage of mosaicism.
A case of an 18-year-old girl evaluated for primary amenorrhea who looked phenotypically normal female. Turner mosaic was suspected. Karyotyping and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of sex chromosomes revealed 46X/46 XY mosaic variant. During chromosomal analysis along with karyotyping, a detailed FISH analysis for sex chromosomes is required in order not to miss out presence of Y chromosome.
Turner mosaic with XY variant is a rare condition and management requires multidisciplinary approach. Prophylactic gonadectomy has to be done to prevent gonadoblastoma.
