A patient is reported for whom initial chromosome analysis indicated 45,X/46,XX/46,XX,10q- mosaicism. The clinical findings included hypothyroidism and a low red cell folate estimation. The deleted chromosome 10 was subsequently shown to be an extreme expression of the folate sensitive heritable fragile site at 10q23, and a possible association between this and the in vivo folate status of the patient is suggested.
据报道,有一名患者,其最初的染色体分析显示为45,X/46,XX/46,XX,10q-嵌合体。临床发现包括甲状腺功能减退和红细胞叶酸估计值低。随后发现缺失的10号染色体是10q23处叶酸敏感遗传性脆性位点的极端表现,并提示这与患者体内叶酸状态之间可能存在关联。
