Abstract
Turner Syndrome (TS) is the commonest chromosomal abnormality in females, estimated to affect ~3 % of all female fetuses. Only 1 % of affected fetuses survive to term, leading to an incidence of ~1 TS patient per 2,500 live female births [1]. Data regarding clinical course and cytogenetics of Indian patients with TS were scarce. We found 2 clinical series with 45 and 24 patients [2, 3] and one article [4] dealt with the results of growth hormone treatment on Indian TS patients. In view of this paucity of Indian data, we searched our database from 1996 to 2010 and came up with 35 patients of TS, whose results are incorporated in this presentation.
