Background: Turner syndrome (TS) can manifest with various clinical features depending on the karyotype and the genetic background of affected subjects.
Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study was to evaluate growth parameters from birth to adulthood in girls with TS in a cross-sectional study.
Method: A total of 842 patients, with an age of diagnosis ranging from birth to 18 years followed-up between 1984 and 2014, from 35 different centers were included in this study. Patients who used growth hormone injections, estrogen or oxandrolone were excluded.
Results: Fifty-one (8.8%) patients were born before 37 weeks. In this cohort small for gestational age was 33% and almost all of them were born termly. Mean birth length was 1.3 cm shorter and mean birth weight was 0.36 kg lower than normal population. At the mean of age of presentation was 10.1±4.4 years, mean height, weight, and BMI–SDS were −3.1±1.7, −1.4±1.5, and 0.4±1.7 respectively. There was no karyotype association with respect to birth length and weight or height and weight at presentation. Mid-parental height was the only parameter that that had an effect on the prediction of height of children with TS.
Conclusion: There was no effect of karyotype in height of girls with TS however weight was heavier in 46,X,i(Xq) and 45,X/46,X,i(Xq) karyotype groups.
