   Extractions: The most common characteristics of Turner syndrome include short stature and lack of ovarian development. A number of other physical features, such as webbed neck, arms that turn out slightly at the elbow, and a low hairline in the back of the head are sometimes seen in Turner syndrome patients. Individuals with Turner syndrome are also prone to cardiovascular problems, kidney and thyroid problems, skeletal disorders such as scoliosis (curvature of the spine) or dislocated hips, and hearing and ear disturbances.

   Extractions: Turner's Syndrome Described by Dr. Henry Turner in 1938 as manifested with short stature, webbed neck, cubitus Valgus and sexual infantilism. Grumbach used the term "gonadal dysgenesis" to describe the syndrome. Many girls may have distinctive characteristics, while some girls may show few. Turner's Syndrome occurs in 1 in 3,000 live female births. Approximately 98% of pregnancies with Turner's Syndrome abort spontaneously and approximately 10% of fetuses from pregnancies that have spontaneously aborted have Turner's Syndrome. The syndrome represents a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, the most common of which is the classic Turner's Syndrome with 45 XO karyotype, less common the Mosaic Turner's Syndrome with Mosaic sex chromosome Karyotypes 45, X/46, XX, 45, X/46, XY. Short stature is almost a consistent finding in Turner's Syndrome, the cause of which is multifactorial, including intrauterine growth retardation, gradual decline in height velocity in childhood, absence of pubertal growth spurt and to end organ resistance resulting from skeletal dysplasia. Patients with Turner's Syndrome have abnormal body proportions characterized by markedly shortened lower extremities. The ultimate height range is between 55 to 58 inches. Familial height may play a role in determining the ultimate height in girls with Turner's Syndrome

10. Turner Syndrome Clinical Trials
    Explains the importance of participating in turner syndrome clinical trials and how even participants who take placebos contribute and benefit from volunteering.  
    http://www.turner-syndrome-clinical-trials.com
    
    Extractions: Turner Syndrome is one of the few genetic diseases that affects only females. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one set from each parent. One of these pairs of chromosomes - the sex chromosomes - determines whether you are male (XY) or female (XX). In Turner's, there is a total or partial loss of one of the sex chromosomes. Because a Y-chromosome cannot function on its own, males lacking a sex chromosome are not produced. The X-chromosome can survive on its own, however, and the result is a girl with Turner Syndrome (XO). Determining the cause of the condition was due to extensive research, and the numerous girls and women who participated in early Turner Syndrome clinical trials. Genetic research did not stop there, however. Today, the goal is to identify the genes responsible for the medical problems associated with the disease. These include a webbed neck, short stature, lack of sexual development, non-verbal learning disabilities, heart and kidney defects and, in adult women, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis. Research also evaluates the effects of drugs, including hormones, on these conditions. One of the most common motives for participating in a Turner Syndrome clinical trial is gaining access to new treatments. Of course, the possibility of being in the group using a placebo may appear to be of little immediate benefit. However, the advice from experts on effectively coping with the disease can be invaluable. In addition, participants benefit from the free examinations and assessments associated with the study.

    Extractions: What is Turner's Syndrome? Turner's Syndrome is a condition that affects about one in every 2,500 females. It was first described in 1938 by Dr. Henry Turner who observed a set of common physical features in some of his patients. However, it was not until 1960 that a chromosomal abnormality was found. Intellectually, girls with Turner's Syndrome are not at risk for mental retardation, but they may have learning problems, especially in arithmetic. Many also have greater difficulty on tasks requiring spatial skills, like map reading, puzzles, visual organization. Although they are not at increased risk for psychological problems, many do have decreased self-esteem and problems with body image. Children with Turner's Syndrome may also be hyperactive. Identifying Features of the Condition: Short stature (mean height of 4'7") Lack of secondary sexual characteristics and infertility Medical problems such as ear, eye, heart, kidney or thyroid difficulties, sugar diabetes, high blood pressure and keloid healing Secondary features such as low set ears, low hairline, webbed neck, pigmented moles, bending out of the elbows, and puffy hands and feet.

    Extractions: WHAT IS TS Definition Treatment Living With ... HOME WHAT IS TS The following description of Turner syndrome[TS] and explanation of some of the issues involved in living with Turner syndrome are not definitive and  a doctor or endocrine specialist should always be consulted whenever a diagnosis of Turner syndrome has been given.  The Turner Syndrome Support Society[UK] and other International Turner syndrome support groups can help with practical information on living daily with TS and can in most cases offer contact with other girls and women with TS and their families. Information about Turner syndrome can be found on the  internet and in books; sadly this information is not always correct, and the TSSS therefore strongly recommends that anyone concerned about TS should consult a health professional who specialises in Turner syndrome. Confirmation of a diagnosis of TS is by karyotype but a suspected diagnosis can be made by a series of characteristic physical features i.e. web neck, broad chest and widely spaced nipples, low hairline and increased carrying angle of the elbows and other features.  Two main clinical features of TS are short stature and non-functioning ovaries.  Diagnosis can be made at birth if, for instance, a newborn needs heart surgery because of coarctation of the aorta or because of oedema of the hands and feet.  Pre-natal diagnosis is sometimes made by chorionic villous sampling, amniocentesis or ultra sound.  However, most girls are diagnosed in early childhood when growth fails or later when the absence of a pubertal growth spurt and development of secondary sexual characteristics become apparent.
