Abstract

CONTEXT: The majority of Turner syndrome (TS) patients suffer from accelerated loss of primordial follicles. Low circulating levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) may predict the lack of spontaneous puberty in prepubertal girls and imminent premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in TS women with preserved ovarian function. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the association between circulating AMH and ovarian status in TS patients. DESIGN: Longitudinal observational cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary referral center for pediatric and gynecologic endocrinology. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 120 TS patients, aged 0 to 48 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Longitudinal measurements of AMH, FSH, LH, estradiol, and inhibin B according to age, karyotype (45,X; 45,X/46,XX mosaicism; miscellaneous karyotypes), and ovarian status (group 0, prepubertal; group 1, never ovarian function; group 2, ongoing ovarian function; and group 3, loss of ovarian function). RESULTS: Ovarian status was highly associated with the TS karyotype: spontaneous puberty—45,X (three of 44 patients), 45,X/46,XX (15 of 17), miscellaneous (17 of 42); and POI—45,X (three of three), 45,X/46,XX (one of 15), and miscellaneous (eight of 17). AMH was associated with ovarian status (eg, group 1, <2 pmol/L; vs group 2, 19 pmol/L; P < .001). AMH < 4 pmol/L (corresponding to <-2 SD) predicted absent puberty in prepubertal girls and POI in adolescent and adult patients. CONCLUSION: The majority of women with mosaic karyotype 45,X/46,XX had ongoing ovarian function in early adulthood. AMH < -2 SD predicted failure to enter puberty in young TS girls and imminent POI in adolescent and adult TS patients.

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.
