Torus mandibularis in 45,X females (Turner syndrome)
Ninety-three Finnish females with a 45,X chromosome constitution, 78 first-degree female, and 37 first-degree male relatives were examined to determine the frequency and expression of torus mandibularis. The results indicate that among adults the frequency of the trait was significantly lower and the expression weaker in the 45,X females than in male control relatives. A similar trend was observed in comparison to normal females. In juveniles the…

Effect of sex chromosome aneuploidy on growth of human skin fibroblasts in cell culture
Growth of human skin fibroblast lines with sex chromosome aneuploidy was studied in cell culture. Two lines were derived from individuals with 45,X and two from individuals with 47,XYY chromosome constitution. The aneuploid cell lines were compared with normal skin fibroblasts derived from age-matched same-sex siblings. To ensure similar conditions in culture, each study-control pair was treated simultaneously and equally in all steps. Growth in …
Effects of the Y chromosome on quantitative growth
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of the Y chromosome on different body and head dimensions of 47,XYY males, and especially its effect on their body proportions. From seven adult 47,XYY males 25 anthropometric measurements were recorded and compared with four male relatives and 42 control males. In most dimensions 47,XYY males were larger than the normal males, the difference being mainly between 0.5 and 1.5 S.D. units. The body…
Body size and shape in 46,XY females with complete testicular feminization
Twenty-five anthropometric measurements were recorded from eight adult 46,XY females with complete testicular feminization and they were compared with those of female relatives of the patients and control females. In most dimensions 46,XY females were larger than normal females, the difference being close to one SD unit. The mean height of 46,XY females was 171.5 cm. The body proportions of 46,XY females were similar to those of normal females th…
The phenotype of 45,X females
Twenty-five anthropometric measurements were recorded from 48 adult 45,X females, 24 of their first-degree female relatives, and 95 control females. When 45,X females were compared with their female relatives and control females they were smaller in most dimensions, the largest differences being found in weight, stature, sitting height, arm length, leg length, bi-iliac diameter, bitrochanteric breadth and wrist width. No significant differences w…
Effects of X chromosome on size and shape of body
The effects of an extra X chromosome on size and shape of body and head were studied in 47,XXY males; 25 anthropometric measurements were recorded from 29 adult 47,XXY males and compared with those of male relatives and control males. In stature, arm length, leg length, triceps skinfold, and subscapular skinfold 47,XXY males were larger and in biacromial diameter, bideltoid breadth, wrist breadth, and in most head dimensions smaller than normal m…
