Early diagnosis of Turner Syndrome Phenotype in a Newborn With Mild Symptoms and Concomitant Neonatal Jaundice

Abstract

Turner syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that occurs only in girls. It can cause problems ranging from short height to heart defects. Sometimes, the symptoms are so mild that it goes undiagnosed until a female is a teen or young adult. That’s why, early diagnosis plays a crucial role in further child’s development. A lot of health problems affecting girls with Turner syndrome can be managed with treatment. This article represents a clinical case of Turner syndrome phenotype diagnosed on its early stage.
