The most common finding in girls with Turner syndrome is short stature.
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects females. While the condition can present with a range of symptoms, short stature is the most frequently observed characteristic, becoming noticeable around the age of 5. Another very common finding is reduced ovarian function, which impacts the production of egg cells and female sex hormones (Reference: 01-Aug-2023).
Here’s a summary of common findings in Turner Syndrome:
| Finding | Description |
|---|---|
| Short Stature | The most common feature; evident by about age 5. |
| Ovarian Dysfunction | Reduced function of the ovaries, affecting hormone production and fertility. |
In addition to these common features, other potential findings may include heart defects, kidney abnormalities, and learning disabilities. However, short stature and ovarian dysfunction are the hallmarks of Turner syndrome.
