X chromatin analysis of 30 aged and 30 control women failed to confirm X chromosome loss as responsible for the increase in incidence of hypodiploid cells observed with increasing age in women. No evidence was found to support a previously suggested relationship between X chromosome loss and the loss of mental function (senility) as measured by psychological tests.
