X/X translocation and Turner's syndrome in a woman with climacterium praecox.

A woman with X/X translocation is presented, and the association between the different types of X/X translocation and Turner's syndrome as well as the question of menstruations and fertility in women with Turner's syndrome are discussed. It is concluded that streak gonads should most probably not be included in the definition of Turner's syndrome.

Incidence of twin births in Denmark from 1911 to 1974.

A survey of twin births in Denmark in relation to the total number of births from 1911 to 1974 shows a significant decrease in the dizygotic twin birth rate for all maternal age groups. The possible environmental causes of such a decrease are discussed.

Deletion 14q and pericentric inversion 14.

A woman with deletion 14q as well as inversion 14 is presented, and physical signs are compared with those of patients with deletion long arm 13. No previous case of deletion long arm 14 has been published.

Inversion 19 and isochromosome short arm 17 or 18.

A case of inversion 19 and isochromosome short arm 17 or 18 has been studied, and the possibility of an increased risk of nondisjunction in persons with certain chromosome inversions is discussed.

Follow-up 15 years after a geronto-psychiatric prevalence study. Conditions concerning death, cause of death, and life expectancy in relation to psychiatric diagnosis.

In relation to a follow-up 15 years after a geronto-psychiatric prevalence investigation of the population aged 65+ in a rural population, analysis has been made of the type of death certificate, residence at time of death, place of death, cause of death and life-expectancy in relation to psychiatric diagnoses prevalent in 1961.

Cytogenetic investigation in twins with manic-depressive disorders (22 monozygotic and 27 dizygotic twin pairs).

Chromosome examination was made in 22 monozygotic and 27 dizygotic twin pairs of whom one or both of each pair suffered or had suffered from manic-depressive disorder. We found a significantly higher frequency of chromosome variations among dizygotic twin pairs than was expected from population studies, but not in monozygotic pairs. There was no association between the chromosome variations and manic-depressive disorders. We found no greater intra-pair correlation in monozygotic twins compared with dizygotic twins as regards hypodiploidy, hyperdiploidy and unstable chromosome aberrations, which indicates that the aetiology of such aberrations is mainly of exogenic nature.

Chromosome aneuploidy associated with aging.

A survey of previous studies of aneuploid chromosome aberrations associated with aging with a discussion of the present evidence for this as well as a discussion concerning cause and effect of aneuploidy and the need for further studies of aneuploidy as a possible aetiological factor in aging and dementia are described.
