Cytogenetic analysis was done for every case using G-banding technique. Assessment of intellectual functions was done using Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS).Results: Mean value of PIQ of X0 (turner) was 74.67 and that of XX (other amenorrhoea patients) was 90.30. Mean value of VIQ of X0 (turner) was 93.67 and that of XX (other amenorrhoea patients) was 93.60. Mean value of VIQ and PIQ disparity of X0 (turner) was 18.67 and that of XX (other amenorrhoea patients) was 3.
