The buccal smear test was used to screen for Turner syndrome in a sample of girls with severe short stature who did not have any other clinical features of that condition. The majority of the girls did not show X chromatin bodies in the buccal mucosal cells. None of those who qualified for chromosomal analysis showed an XO chromosomal pattern either. We conclude that reliability of the buccal smear test as a screening method for Turner syndrome remains doubtful.
在一组严重身材矮小且无Turner综合征其他临床特征的女孩样本中，采用口腔黏膜涂片试验来筛查Turner综合征。大多数女孩的口腔黏膜细胞中未显示X染色质体。符合染色体分析条件的女孩中也没有一个显示XO染色体模式。我们得出结论，口腔黏膜涂片试验作为Turner综合征筛查方法的可靠性仍存疑问。
