We studied the adult height (AH) outcome, and factors likely to influence it, in Turner Syndrome (TS) girls treated with growth hormone (GH). A total of 25 TS girls treated with GH were compared with 10 TS girls not treated with GH. The percentage of girls who achieved normal third percentile was determined. Projected AH (PAH) was calculated according to height standard deviation score (HSDS) a...

Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with a characteristic neurocognitive profile which includes average to low full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) with a significant discrepancy between verbal IQ (VIQ) and performance IQ (PIQ) [1].They have average verbal skills but weaker non verbal skills like visuospatial, perceptual, processing speed and executive functioning leading to problems in acade...

The prevalence of malocclusion in 32 Turner syndrome patients, age 7-16.7 years, was investigated.

Compared with normal girls overjet did not differ significantly while overbite was significantly reduced in 45X patients. The prevalence of distal molar occlusion, anterior and lateral o...

Recently, cases with Turner syndrome associated with IBD have been reported. We report here a 13...
