Abstract

Turner syndrome (TS) is caused by the absence of a part or whole X chromosome in a phenotypic female and has an estimated prevalence of 25-50/100,000 live-born females. The primary gynecologic manifestation of TS is primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), and the resulting hypoestrogenism and infertility are experienced by most individuals with TS. In this review, we summarize the recommendations for the care of adolescents and young adults with TS, with a focus on primary ovarian insufficiency in TS, hormone replacement therapy, fertility preservation, and pregnancy in TS.

  • There are no standardized approaches to referral for fertility preservation among pediatric providers, beyond referring only those who have spontaneous puberty.

    “Because timing of follicular atresia for any individual is difficult to predict, there are no standardized approaches to referral for fertility preservation among pediatric providers, beyond referring only those who have spontaneous puberty.281,575,614”
  • Timing of follicular atresia for any individual with TS is difficult to predict.

    “Because timing of follicular atresia for any individual is difficult to predict, there are no standardized approaches to referral for fertility preservation among pediatric providers, beyond referring only those who have spontaneous puberty.281,575,614”
  • There is limited data on long-term outcomes of fertility preservation for patients with TS.

    “Before proceeding with treatment, adult and pediatric clinicians should communicate clearly about the difficulty of anticipating success and limited data on long-term outcomes of fertility preservation for patients with TS, as well as the possible health risks and complications with fertility treatment.281”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
