Impaired body balance, fine motor function and hearing in women with Turner syndrome.

Objective: Fractures are related to falling. Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with hypogonadism, osteoporosis and fractures and has been considered as a syndrome of early ageing. The aim was to study whether fine motor function (FM) and body balance (BB) were impaired and related to genotype, fractures, metabolic variables and hearing.

Elevated liver enzymes in Turner syndrome during a 5-year follow-up study.

Objectives: To study the prevalence and incidence of elevated liver enzymes and their relationship with body weight, metabolic factors and other diseases in Turner syndrome (TS).

Design: Five-year follow-up.

Patients: Women with TS (n = 218, mean age 33 +/- 13, range 16-71 years) from outpatient clinics at university hospitals in Sweden.

Chromosomal mosaicism mitigates stigmata and cardiovascular risk factors in Turner syndrome.

Objective: To study genotype-phenotype correlations in Turner syndrome (TS) regarding body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, stigmata and age at diagnosis vs. degree of mosaicism estimated as the percentage of 45,X and 46,XX cells.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-six TS women, mean age 31 years, were examined by three specialists, who reported stigmata independent of each other.

Hypothyroidism is common in turner syndrome: results of a five-year follow-up.

Turner syndrome (TS) is caused by a sex chromosome aberration. The aim was to study the prevalence and incidence of thyroid disease in adults with TS. Women with TS (n = 91; mean age, 37.
