Progress in research of endocrine abnormalities in Turner syndrome / 临床儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Turner syndrome (TS) is the result of complete or partial deletion of an X chromosome. It is often associated with endocrine dysfunction such as thyroid dysfunction, growth and developmental disorders, glucose and lipid metabolism disor-ders, and so on. Long-term follow-up of children with TS should regularly monitor thyroid autoantibodies, thyroid function, blood glucose and blood lipids for early detection and intervention of the complications, in order to further improve the life quality of children with TS.
