Cardiovascular pathology in males and females with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism.
<h4>Context</h4>The phenotype of 45,X/46,XY mosaicism is heterogeneous ranging from females with Turner syndrome (TS) to apparently normal males. Males with 45,X/46,XY frequently show stigmata typically associated with TS. We hypothesised that males with 45,X/46,XY have similar cardiovas...
