This review examines hormonal changes in Turner syndrome patients, focusing on gonadotrophins and growth hormone (GH). It discusses how gonadal insufficiency, CNS maturation, and obesity impact endocrine findings during development.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatrics
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Turner syndrome is a genetic condition affecting females, characterized by hormonal imbalances.
  • Hormonal changes are critical throughout development, influencing growth and reproductive health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review hormonal changes in Turner syndrome during infancy, childhood, and adolescence.
  • To emphasize the roles of gonadotrophins and growth hormone (GH).
  • To discuss factors influencing endocrine findings, including gonadal insufficiency, CNS maturation, and body composition.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on Turner syndrome.
  • Analysis of hormonal profiles, particularly gonadotrophins and GH.
  • Discussion of contributing factors like gonadal insufficiency, CNS development, and obesity.

Main Results:

  • Hormonal profiles in Turner syndrome patients show significant deviations during developmental stages.
  • Gonadotrophin and GH levels are key indicators of endocrine dysfunction.
  • Gonadal insufficiency, central nervous system (CNS) maturation, and obesity are identified as significant factors.

Conclusions:

  • Hormonal changes in Turner syndrome are complex and vary with developmental stage.
  • Understanding these endocrine alterations is crucial for managing growth and development in affected individuals.
  • Interplay between genetics, hormones, and body composition influences the clinical presentation.
