Though part of the diabetes risk in Turner syndrome is a function of weight control, some is independent; age- and weight-matched women with non-Turner's ovarian failure have a lower diabetes risk than in Turner syndrome. Growth hormone treatment plays an unclear role in diabetes risk, as does estrogen supplementation. [17]
Parsonage–Turner syndrome, also known as acute brachial neuropathy, neuralgic amyotrophy and abbreviated PTS, is a syndrome of unknown cause; although many specific risk factors have been identified (such as; post-operative, post-infectious, post-traumatic or post-vaccination). [4]
Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), also known as primary or peripheral/gonadal hypogonadism or primary gonadal failure, is a condition which is characterized by hypogonadism which is due to an impaired response of the gonads to the gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), and in turn a lack of sex steroid production.

Pregnancy is sometimes possible in Swyer syndrome with assisted reproductive technology. [2] [3] [4] The phenotype is usually similar to Turner syndrome (45,X0) due to a lack of X inactivation. The typical medical treatment is hormone replacement therapy. [5] The syndrome was named after Gerald Swyer, an endocrinologist based in London.
Turner syndrome is usually not diagnosed until a delayed onset of puberty with Müllerian structures found to be in infantile stage. [4] Physical phenotypic characteristics include short stature, dysmorphic features and lymphedema at birth. [23] Comorbidities include heart defects, vision and hearing problems, diabetes, and low thyroid hormone ...
Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome. It is also one of the signs of CHARGE syndrome. Examples of acquired causes of hypogonadism: [citation needed] Opioid Induced Androgen Deficiency (resulting from the prolonged use of opioid class drugs, e.g. codeine, Dihydrocodeine, morphine, oxycodone, methadone, fentanyl, hydromorphone, etc.)
Gonadoblastoma has been found in association with androgen insensitivity syndrome, mixed gonadal dysgenesis and Turner syndrome, especially in the presence of Y chromosome-bearing cells. [3] [4] Women with Turner syndrome whose karyotype includes a Y chromosome (as in 45,X/46,XY mosaicism) are at increased risk for gonadoblastoma. Because of ...
It is a feature of Turner syndrome [1] (only found in girls) and Noonan syndrome, [2] as well as the rarer Klippel–Feil syndrome, [3] or Diamond–Blackfan anemia. [4]
