A comparative study of serum cholesterol, total lipoprotein and triglyceride level in patients with the XO karyotype and in normal subjects (XX) showed cholesterol and total lipoprotein to be increased in these patients; as to triglyceride level--it proved to be unchanged. The type of hyperlipoproteinemia was established in 7 of 18 patients examined; all of them under 30 years old. Thus, the incidence of hyperlipoproteinemia in the XO patients was sharply increased; this seems to be related to the low estrogen level.
