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: Turner Syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosomal disorder affecting only females. Frequently the formal diagnosis is not made until late elementary to early middle school. There is research evidence* to suggest that in addition to the physical difficulties experienced by those females who have TS, they exhibit significant deficits in cognitive development and functioning. As a result of these cognitive difficulties, deficits in educational achievement and social functioning are frequently noted. This profile of neuropsychological assets and deficits is best understood in terms of the Syndrome of Nonverbal Learning Disabilities. Virtually all females with TS display most of the sequelae of this syndrome.

Turner syndrome was initially described by Dr. Henry Turner in 1938. Turner syndrome occurs in approximately 1 of 2,500 females. About 95 percent of fetuses are spontaneously miscarried during pregnancy and thus only 5 percent survive to term. Most cases of Turner syndrome occur randomly and thus do not carry a recurrence risk. Prenatal diagnosis is available through amniocentesis (sampling of the fluid which surrounds the baby before birth) to look for the abnormality of the X chromosome. Since patients with Turner syndrome are unable to have children, there is no risk of mother-daughter transmission. Genetic abnormality of Turner syndrome

Extractions: May 25, 2001 Turner syndrome is the name of a condition that affects approximately one in 2,000-2,500 newborn girls. The classical features of Turner syndrome include short stature, failure to mature sexually, webbed neck and several health-related problems such as an increased likelihood of having certain heart defects, hearing problems, diabetes, thyroid problems and others. Some girls and women with Turner syndrome may have no other obvious feature besides short stature, so there is quite a bit of variability in the condition. What causes Turner syndrome?

Extractions: Is there a genetic or environmental factor associated with Turner syndrome? No. Turner syndrome is not associated with any environmental or any other factors generally associated with genetic problems. Despite many efforts, no real causes have been found for this condition. It appears to be a random event that can happen to anyone. What can be done for a patient with Turner syndrome? As a chromosomal condition, there is no cure for Turner syndrome the way that antibiotics can cure strep throat. However much can be done to manage the problem. Growth hormone, either alone or with a weak androgen, will improve speed of growth and probably increase final adult height. Growth hormone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of Turner syndrome and is covered by many insurance plans. Estrogen replacement therapy has also been used to promote development of secondary sexual characteristics since the condition was described in 1938. This treatment is also important for maintaining good tissue and bone integrity.
