Abstract
An 82-year-old woman with Turner syndrome and schizophrenia, and her 46-year-old daughter with schizophrenia are described. 45X/46XX chromosomal mosaicism was identified in the peripheral leukocytes of the mother, who showed several Turner dysmorphisms and cavum septi pellucidum in the brain. She had a normal reproductive life-span. The daughter resembled the mother in terms of schizophrenic symptoms, but she did not show any signs of Turner dysmorphism or chromosomal abnormality. The phenotype-karyotype relationship of Turner syndrome and the genetic relationship with psychosis are discussed.
