MARSHA DAVENPORT UNC Health Care A quick poll on the street confirms that most people don't know what Turner syndrome is. However, it is actually quite common, affecting about one in every 2,000 to 3,000 females born. Turner syndrome occurs when one of the X chromosomes in a female is either absent or contains a defect. The part of the chromosome the female is missing contains genes that code for proteins important in bone growth, development of the lymphatic system - which carries fluid in the tissues back into the blood - and the proper function of other systems. Almost all females with Turner syndrome are shorter than a doctor would guess, given the height of both parents. The average adult with Turner syndrome is 4 feet 8 inches tall, about 8 inches shorter than the average height for most women. Recently, we have learned that the average girl with Turner syndrome usually begins life a bit small, grows slowly during infancy and childhood, and fails to undergo a normal growth spurt at puberty. Although the growth of each individual varies, half of girls with Turner syndrome have grown poorly enough to fall below the 5th percentile in length by the age of 2 - that is, they are one of the 5 smallest girls out of 100 2-year-old girls.

Therefore, there is a total of 45 chromosomes in each cell of the body, rather than 46. For example, if a baby is born with only one X sex chromosome, rather than the usual pair (either two X's or one X and one Y sex chromosome), the baby would be said to have "monosomy X." Monosomy X is also known as Turner syndrome. What is Turner syndrome?

It is one of the most common chromosomal disorders. The diagnosis is confirmed by examination of chromosomes from the blood cells (Karyotype). Sometimes the second X chromosome is missing from, or abnormal in, only some cells in the body, but not all. This is referred to as Turner mosaicism. Turner syndrome is generally characterised by short stature and non functioning ovaries, usually leading to the absence of pubertal development and infertility. Though growth hormone secretion is nearly always normal the treatment with growth hormone has demonstrated an increase in growth rate, sometimes with the additional use of oxandrolone. At an appropriate age girls are given oestrogen for the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the introduction of regular uterine withdrawal bleeds, which is important to keep the uterus healthy. Physical features associated with Turner syndrome may include Coarctation of the aorta, webbing of the neck, wide spaced nipples and puffy hands and feet. Sleeping and feeding difficulties may occur in early childhood and though intelligence spans the normal range there can be learning and behavioural difficulties, which benefit from appropriate support and the diligence of the girls themselves.

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.

The overlapping designs of many of these studies provide insight into the nuances of growth in general, as well as specifically in the Turner Syndrome. More importantly, they provide a basis for an optimistic view that growth rate, pubertal development, and adult height of girls with Turner syndrome may all begin to approach normal parameters.

Turner syndrome Women with Turner syndrome may develop diabetes. T urner syndrome affects approximately 1 out of every 2,500 female live births worldwide. It embraces a broad spectrum of features, from major heart defects to minor cosmetic issues. Some individuals with Turner syndrome may have only a few features, while others may have many. Almost all people with Turner syndrome have short stature and loss of ovarian function, but the severity of these problems varies considerably amongst individuals. Appearance I ndividuals with Turner syndrome may have a short neck with a webbed appearance, a low hairline at the back of the neck, and low-set ears. Hands and feet of affected individuals may be swollen or puffy at birth, and often have soft nails that turn upward at the ends when they are older. All these features appear to be due to obstruction of the lymphatic system during fetal development. Another characteristic cosmetic feature is the presence of multiple pigmented nevi, which are colored spots on the skin. Short Stature A lmost all individuals with Turner syndrome have short stature. This is partially due to the loss of action SHOX gene on the X-chromosome. This particular gene is important for long bone growth. The loss of SHOX may also explain some of the skeletal features found in Turner syndrome, such as short fingers and toes, and irregular rotations of the wrist and elbow joints. Linear growth is attenuated in utero, and statural growth lags during childhood and adolescence, resulting in adult heights of 143-145 cm (approximately 4 feet 8 inches). Final adult height in Turner syndrome can be increased by a few inches if growth hormone (GH) treatment is given relatively early in childhood. However, not all individuals with Turner syndrome get a good growth response to GH.

Other physical features may include a short neck with a webbed appearance, heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and/or various other malformations. Among affected females, there is also a heightened incidence of osteoporosis, type II diabetes, and hypothyroidism. There appears to be great variability in the degree to which girls with Turner syndrome are affected by any of its manifestations. Turner syndrome occurs when one of the two X chromosomes normally found in women is missing or incomplete. Although the exact cause of Turner syndrome is not known, it appears to occur as a result of a random error during the division (meiosis) of sex cells.

Does she have extra skin on both sides of her neck (known as webbing)? If she is a teenager, did she develop breasts late or not at all? Did she not start her menstrual periods or did they stop? Are you much shorter than other women? Did you fail to develop breasts or start your menstrual periods at the same time as other girls your age?

Have you found it difficult to fall pregnant? If you answered yes to any of these questions you, or your daughter, could have a condition known as Turner Syndrome. Even if only some of these features exist, you or your daughter may still have Turner Syndrome. Take this information to your local hospital or doctor, and suggest that a test be done for this condition. Why should you do the test?
