Resumen
To evaluate the effect of the improvement of chromosome analysis on the cytogenetic findings of Turner syndrome (TS) patients. Retrospective study of the results of the karyotypes of 260 patients with TS, regarding banding techniques, number of cells analyzed and results of investigation of Y-chromosome sequences. According to karyotype, divided in 45,X; sex chromosome mosaicism without Y; structural aberrations of sex chromosomes with or without mosaicism; sex chromosome mosaicism with Y. 45,X was the most frequent karyotype (108), followed by structural aberrations (88) and mosaics (58 without Y and 6 with Y). Introduction of banding techniques and increase in the number of cells analyzed resulted in progressive decrease of 45,X karyotype and increase of structural aberrations. The study of Y-chromosome sequences was performed in 96 cases of which 10 resulted positive. Improvement of chromosome analysis over the years has modified the cytogenetic profile of TS. 53 1137-42
