ABSTRACT
Autoimmune thyroiditis in Turner syndrome is more prevalent in women with the X isochromosome karyotype, compared with other karyotypes. The cause of obesity in Turner syndrome is not to be sure, it may be related to metabolic syndrome inducing insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases. Also the influence of each karyotypes on degree of obesity is unclear in Turner syndrome. We experienced a case of X isochromosome Turner syndrome with metabolic syndrome and autoimmune thyroiditis and report it with reviews of literatures.
