Pathology - Turner Syndrome
caused by either whole or partial X chromosomal monosomy (XO karyotype without Barr body).
Aortic coarctation, bicuspid aortic valve, and other congenital heart defects; infantile genitalia and breasts; short stature with a broad chest and widely dispersed nipples; lymphedema of extremities; primary amenorrhea and infertility with replacement of ovaries with fibrous strands (no ova or follicles).
Patients have a higher chance of acquiring osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and Hashimoto thyroiditis.
Results from the lab: lower synthesis of estrogen and higher amounts of FSH and LH.
Handling
Growth hormone (to treat low height); replacement of estrogen.
reduced life expectancy as a result of irregularities in the heart.
