Abstract
We present a 31‐year‐old woman with a 45,X chromosome constitution who had had two miscarriages. This report brings to 11 the number of presumably non‐mosaic Ullrich‐Turner syndrome patients who have achieved pregnancy. A review of the literature indicates an increased incidence of chromosome abnormalities and a high rate of fetal death in offspring of such patients. However, in light of the fertility in these patients, genetic counseling should be reevaluated and perhaps amniocentesis recommended in successful pregnancies.
