Turner syndrome female with a small ring X chromosome lacking the XIST, an unexpectedly mild phenotype and an atypical association with alopecia universalis.
XIST expression was common in seminomatous testicular germ cell tumors (2 of 2 or 100% of seminoma derived cell lines and 10 of 12 or 83% of seminomatous testicular germ cell tumor tissues) but not in nonseminomatous testicular germ cell tumors (0 of 2 or 0% nonseminoma derived cell lines and 2 of 8 or 25% of nonseminomatous testicular germ cell tumor tissues).

XIST methylation was 18% in (SRY+) XX-males, and thus they were severely hypomethylated compared to (SRY-) XX-males (48%; P<0.01), Klinefelter men (44%; P<0.01) and female controls (47%; P<0.01).
