Abstract:Objective To identify the origin of small marker chromosome (smr) in the patients with Turner's syndrome. Method The small marker chromosome in 3 patients with Turner's syndrome, whose karyotype was 45, X / 46, X+smr, was hybridized by centromere DNA probe of X and Y chromosome through fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH). Results The small marker chromosome in 2 patients were derived from Y chromosome and in the other patient, it was from X chromosome. Conclusion FISH can be applied to detect small marker chromosome, which is important to clinical diagnosis and the choice of therapy.
