Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in Turner syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Newly developed genetic techniques can reveal mosaicism in individuals diagnosed with monosomy X. Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis using maternal blood can detect most fetuses with X chromosome abnormalities. Low-dose and ultralow-dose estrogen replacement therapy can achieve a more physiological endocrine milieu. However, many complicated and controversial issues with such treatment remain. Therefore, lifetime observation, long-term studies of health problems, and optimal therapeutic plans are needed for women with Turner syndrome. In this review, we discuss several diagnostic trials using recently developed genetic techniques and studies of physiological hormone replacement treatment over the last 5 years.

May-Thurner syndrome, an uncommon diagnosis for a common disease: a case report and review of the literature
May-Turner syndrome is a relatively uncommon anatomical variation in which patients develop iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to venous occlusion. In this syndrome, the left common iliac vein is compressed against the fifth lumbar vertebra by the right common iliac artery. The real incidence/prevalence of May-Turner syndrome is not precisely known, but it is estimated to be between 22 ...

Short stature is an important clinical feature of Turner syndrome (TS). In this report, a girl with short stature suspected to have Turner syndrome underwent cytogenetic analysis, which confirmd Turner syndrome by observing sex chromosomal monosomy using the karyotype test. In addition to Turner syndrome, Robertsonian (ROB) translocation t(13;14) was detected. As recommended by a genetic counse...

متن کاملComparison of classical cytogenetics versus interphase FISH in diagnosis of mosaic form of Turner syndrome
Abstract Background: Mosaic form of turner syndrome that represented by two or more cell lines in an affected individual, often has limitation for detection with classical cytogenetic methods. The present study was carried out to compare the efficiency of interphase Fluorescence In Situ Hybridisation (FISH) and cytogenetic techniques in detection of mosaic form of turner syndrome. Method...
