Evolution of Health Care in Turner Syndrome.

Abstract

Turner syndrome was recognized nearly 90 years ago as a distinctive condition and the understanding of pathophysiology, and phenotype has incrementally and substantially changed along with the goals of treatment. Today, multidisciplinary care is imperative, and the latest international consensus guideline has been crafted as a source of comprehensive practical recommendations for interdisciplinary care of individuals with Turner syndrome throughout their lifespan. We review the evolution of health care in Turner syndrome while highlighting the novel recommendations in the recently published international consensus guideline for the care of girls and women with Turner syndrome.
