Extractions: Camden Place Ltd. Turner Syndrome What It Is In many cases, the physical features are so subtle, that TS is not diagnosed until the teen doesnt start puberty and is referred to the endocrinologist for evaluation. So TS can present itself in a number of different ways. Sometimes, a concerned parent is the first to point out the problems to the pediatrician, such as feeding difficulties, low weight, and irritability. Once correctly diagnosed, which means confirmed by DNA analysis (karyotype), further evaluations are done to rule-out other medical issues. These tests include a renal sonogram and urinanalysis, (to rule-out horseshoe kidneys or other structural abnormalities; 39% incidence), echocardiogram and EKG (to diagnose any heart malformations, 55% incidence) and blood tests for thyroid functions (10 - 30 % incidence (Rosenfield, 1992). Monitoring of blood pressure should continue through out life since hypertension is common. Repeated ear infections (otitis media) are very common and should be treated aggressively. Lymphedema is also common, but usually decreases over time.

Extractions: Turner syndrome By Ronald J. Jorgenson, DDS, PhD, FACMG Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the lack of an X chromosome. What is going on in the body? Turner syndrome only affects females. Because females with Turner syndrome don't have the normal number of chromosomes, the body's natural balance is upset. This results in underdevelopment of the ovaries, breasts, uterus and vagina. Females with this disorder are infertile. Women with Turner syndrome are shorter than average, usually under 5' tall. This disorder usually does not cause mental retardation , but some affected females have learning disabilities. They also may have confusion about space and distances. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? The most common features of Turner syndrome are: short stature failure to develop sexually puffiness of the backs of the hands and feet at birth congenital heart disease low hairline on the back of the neck excess skin or webbing of the neck pigmented mole-like lesions on the skin kidney defects short fourth fingers inability to fully extend the elbows What are the causes and risks of the condition?

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.

This disorder inhibits sexual development and causes infertility Turner syndrome is usually caused by a missing X chromosome. It affects 1 out of 3,000 live births. It is usually sporadic meaning that it is not inherited from a parent. Rarely, a parent silently carries rearranged chromosomes that can result in Turner syndrome in a daughter; this is the only situation in which Turner syndrome is inherited. There are many manifestations of this syndrome, but the main features are short stature , webbing of the skin of the neck, absent or retarded development of secondary sexual characteristics, absence of menstruation, coarctation (narrowing) of the aorta, and abnormalities of the eyes and bones. The condition is either diagnosed at birth because of the associated anomalies, or at puberty when there is absent or delayed menses and delayed development of normal secondary sexual characteristics.

http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/turner_syndrome.html

Extractions: Definition Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder affecting females wherein one of the two X-chromosomes is defective or completely absent. Description Chromosomes are structures in the nucleus of every cell in the human body. Chromosomes contain the genetic information necessary to direct the growth and normal functioning of all cells and systems of the body. A normal individual has a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell, two of which are responsible for determining gender. Normally, females have two X-chromosomes and males have one X and one Y-chromosome. In Turner syndrome, an error occurring very early in development results in an abnormal number and arrangement of chromosomes. Most commonly, an individual with Turner syndrome will be born with 45 chromosomes in each cell rather than 46. The missing chromosome is an X-chromosome. The affected person is always female. The prevalence of Turner syndrome is widely reported as being approximately one per 2,000 live female births, although researchers have reported prevalence rates that range from one in 3,125 to one in 5,000 live female births. About 1% to 2% of all female conceptions have a missing X-chromosome. Of these, the majority (99%) spontaneously abort, usually during the first trimester of

Extractions: Turner Syndrome and Growth Heather J. McKnight, MSN, CRNP Short stature is a primary characteristic of Turner Syndrome. Turner Syndrome (TS) is a condition manifested in females who have only one X chromosome or a closely linked mosaic pattern of karyotype. Girls with TS have dysgenetic ovaries and will most likely be infertile. Characteristics of TS include lack of sexual maturation, webbed neck, and a wide carrying angle. A karyotype should be performed on any female child with poor growth to rule out TS. Growth hormone has been approved for use in girls with Turner Syndrome. The best results of growth hormone treatment in girls with TS have been found if growth hormone therapy is initiated at age 6-7 years (Castigila, 1997). It is therefore imperative that females with TS be identified as promptly as possible so they may achieve the maximum benefits of growth hormone therapy. Any female with short stature must alert health care providers to the possibility of Turners Syndrome. References Castiglia, P. T. (1997). Turner syndrome. Journal of Pediatric Health Care, 11(1), 34-36.

Extractions: Main Diseases and Conditions Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that can cause girls to have short stature , a failure to begin puberty and infertility. Children with Turner syndrome only have one functioning X chromosome (unlike normal females who have two functioning X chromosomes [46, X, X]), and the other one may be absent [45, X] in all cells, or just some cells which is called a mosaic [45, X/46, X, X], or there may be a fragment of the second X chromosome present in some cells. It is not known what causes Turner syndrome and it is not associated with advanced maternal age. Turner syndrome is found in about 1 out of every 2000-3000 live born females.

http://www.lpch.org/DiseaseHealthInfo/HealthLibrary/genetics/turner.html

Extractions: What are monosomies? The term monosomy is used to describe the absence of one member of a pair of chromosomes. 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 Xs 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? Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder seen in girls that causes them to be shorter than others and to not mature sexually as they grow into adulthood. The severity of these problems varies among affected individuals. Other health problems may also be present involving the heart or renal system (i.e., kidneys). Many problems affecting girls with Turner syndrome can be managed or corrected with appropriate medical treatment. Turner syndrome occurs in one in 2,500 females born. The name "Turner syndrome" comes from Dr. Henry Turner, the physician who first described the collection of findings in 1938. It was not until 1959 that the cause of Turner syndrome (having only a single X chromosome) was identified.

Extractions: In 1938 Henry Turner, an American doctor, was one of the first people who noticed a pattern in some women who had decreased height and a lack of secondary sex characteristics ie breast development, menstruation and sexual hair growth. Some 20 years later, in 1959, it was discovered that women with this pattern of symptoms were missing all or part of an X chromosome.

A now obsolete eponym once used to indicate many forms of cryptogenic neurologic atrophy of the shoulder and cervical plexus. Today different mononeuropathies are described as syndromes and cervical plexus neuropathies are indicated by their etiology. This condition presents with severe pain in the shoulder and arm, followed by atrophic paralysis of some muscles of shoulder girdle. Often it is preceded by a generalized aching and fever. If serratus anterior is involved, and it usually is, the scapula wings and the patient has difficult raising his arm upwards and outwards. This type of condition was documented by J. D. Spillane in 1943.
