Deciding on future fertility: considerations of girls with Turner syndrome and their parents to opt for or against ovarian tissue cryopreservation.

Research Question: What are the considerations of girls with Turner syndrome and their parents to opt for or against ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC)?

Design: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with girls with Turner syndrome and their parents until data saturation was reached. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach.

Socioeconomic status in patients with Turner syndrome.

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic condition with a broad phenotypic spectrum. In contrast to the medical conditions, socioeconomic factors are not well understood. Our goal was to evaluate the socioeconomic status (SES) among women with TS in a European-wide cohort, and to look for possible associated factors.

Karyotype - Phenotype Associations in Patients with Turner Syndrome.

Variation in karyotype may be associated with the phenotype of patients with Turner syndrome (TS). Our objective was to identify these associations between karyotype and phenotype in TS patients. This study was part of the European multicentre dsd-LIFE study.
