Noonan and Dorothy Ehmke [American cardiologist/paediatrician] in 1963 defined the syndrome on the basis of clinical and cytogenetic findings in six boys and three girls with valvular pulmonary stenosis, short stature, hypertelorism and skeletal anomalies, and, in boys, retentio testis. In a later publication (1968) Noonan described a total of 19 patients of both sexes with unusual facies, congenital heart defect and other symptoms resembling those of Turner’s syndrome. However, the patients had normal chromosomes. While at Iowa, Noonan, together with Dorothy Ehmke, conducted a clinical investigation, which included 833 children with congenital heart disease who were carefully studied for the presence of additional extra-cardiac anomalies. Nine of these children had a similar characteristic facies and pulmonary stenosis. These patients were reported by Noonan to the Midwest Society of Pediatric Research held in Cincinnati in 1962.

Turner Syndrome In 1938, Henry Turner first described Turner syndrome, which is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities. More than 95% of adult women with Turner syndrome exhibit short stature and Noonan syndrome, sometimes inappropriately called "male turner syndrome " can occur in males or females.

Please click here to view the full topic text: Turner Syndrome
Background: In 1938, Henry Turner first described Turner syndrome, which is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities. More than 95% of adult women with Turner syndrome exhibit short stature and infertility. Pathophysiology: Turner syndrome is caused by the absence of one set of genes from the short arm of one X chromosome. In patients with 45 X karyotype, about two thirds are missing the paternal X chromosome. In addition to monosomy X, a similar clinical picture is found with a 46 XXiq karyotype and in some individuals with mosaic karyotypes. A deletion of the SHOX gene can cause an identical phenotype and also may be considered as a variety of Turner syndrome. Frequency:
  • In the US: Frequency is approximately 1 in 2,000 live-born female infants. As many as 15% of spontaneous abortions have a 45 X karyotype. Internationally: Incidence is the same as for the US. No known ethnic or racial factors influence frequency.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Noonan syndrome can be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It affects at least 1 in 2,500 children. The fact that some children do not have a parent with Noonan syndrome likely reflects sporadic inheritance, i.e., presumably the occurrence of a new mutation. The first specific gene that causes Noonan syndrome, called PTPN11, was discovered in 2001. It is expected that other genes will be discovered that cause Noonan syndrome. Frequently seen abnormalities include webbing of the neck, changes in the sternum (usually a sunken chest called pectus excavatum), facial abnormalities, and congenital

The first table lists disorders where hypertrichosis is a primary symptom. The second table lists disorders where hypertrichosis can be one of several symptoms. Typically the other symptoms are of greater concern and health/life threatening. The clinical distinction between hypertrichosis and hirsutism is that hypertrichosis involves hair growth on any hair bearing area of skin. The excess hair growth may induced by a wide variety of environmental or genetic factors. Hirsutism is the growth of hair in a secondary sexual characteristic pattern. In women hirsutism involves unwanted excess hair limited to regions including the mustache, beard, chest and/or escutcheon areas. Hirsutism is typically induced by hormonal imbalance, especially androgen excess. This is not necessarily a complete list of disorders involving hypertrichosis.

Jacqueline Noonan, paediatrician and heart specialist in 1963, published a report on a small group of patients with typical facies, congenital heart defect, and some clinical features similar to Turner syndrome, but with normal chromosomes. Its after her that this syndrome has been named. Noonan syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. This means that the Noonan gene is on a non-sex (autosomal) chromosome and is transmitted from parent with a 50% probability to child. Although one dose of the Noonan gene is enough to cause the syndrome. A gene for Noonan syndrome (NS1) has been mapped to chromosome number 12. There are several different Noonan genes. The frequency of the Noonan syndrome is estimated to be between 1:1,000 and 1:2,500 in the general population Main features of this syndrome are: Pulmonary Stenosis Short stature after birth Webbing of Neck Caved in Chest Bones In boys, Testes that do not descend into the scrotum

Turner’s syndrome is a condition where the number of sex chromosomes is abnormal - either there is a single X chromosome or there is an additional one. Usually there is no functioning ovarian tissue, but the external genitalia are female. Although they are infertile normal development can occur with hormone replacement therapy at the time of puberty. return to genetically determined disorders

Find out what you can do to lead a healthy, quality life. What is Turner Syndrome?
Turner Syndrome is one of the rare diseases that affect only women. It is caused by abnormalities in one of the X chromosomes, and has a number of symptoms, including short stature and the presence of a webbed neck.
While Turner syndrome symptoms may be apparent at birth, the condition often isn't diagnosed until puberty. The characteristic short stature may be overlooked, and the girl is just presumed to be shorter than average. As with other rare diseases, most people have never heard of Turner Syndrome, so the warning signs are often missed.
Why Men Don't Get Turner Syndrome
So, out of all the rare diseases, why are men immune to Turner Syndrome?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes which contain all of our genetic information. Men are distinguished from women by having one pair of chromosomes consisting of a single "X" and a single "Y" chromosome. Women on the other hand normally have two X chromosomes.
Turner Syndrome/ Turner's Syndrome Turner Syndrome is occasionally called "Turner's Syndrome." It is named after the doctor who discovered the disease, H.H. Turner. He first identified the disease in 1938.

... What Can Our Chromosomes Tell Us? Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome affects 60,000 girls and women in the United States. This disorder occurs in 1 in 2000 to 1 in 2500 live births, with about 800 new cases diagnosed each year. Girls with Turner Syndrome do not develop secondary sex characteristics such as breast tissue and underarm or pubic hair. Women and girls with Turner Syndrome have only one X chromosome. This is an example of monosomy See the box below to learn more about how the gender of an individual is determined. Where does the single X chromosome come from? In 75 to 80 percent of cases, the single X chromosome comes from the mother's egg because the father's sperm that fertilizes the egg is missing a sex chromosome.
How do chromosomes determine the gender of an individual? It took scientists a long time to work out the puzzle of how sex chromosomes determine an individual's gender. Here's the evidence:
  • X + X = FEMALE Y + X = MALE X + = FEMALE (Turner Syndrome) Y + X + X = MALE (Klinefelter Syndrome)
What's the key feature? What chromosomes do the males have that the females don't have?
