				Presented in this paper the date from a chromosome study of 156 patients referred sex chromosomal abnormalities. Karyotypes were obtained using short-term blood culture. Of these 87 patients had normal chromosome complements; 69(44.2%) patients had sex chromosome abnormality. Among all patients with chromosome abnormalities, 85.5%(59/69) had aberrations of sex chromosome number, the others 14.5%910/69) had aberrations of sex chromosome structure. Among the later, paracentric inversion of the long arm of X-chromosome, partial deletion of the short arm of X-chromosome and inrease in length of the long arm of X-chromosome were observed. Thus the results of the present study indicate the importance of cytogenetic evaluation in clinically abnormal patients.
