Reflections on the clinical diagnosis and management of Turner syndrome

Abstract:

There is a delay in the clinical diagnosis of Turner syndrome (TS), particularly for patients with mosaic karyotypes. This diagnostic delay can hinder age-appropriate treatments and lead to adverse health outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to explore improvement measures for early diagnosis and treatment plans based on the current clinical situation. Furthermore, as research progresses, the focus of clinical diagnosis and treatment of TS is gradually expanding to multiple aspects, including cardiovascular health, fertility, and transitional care, in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life of the patients. This paper discusses the current clinical status and management key points of TS diagnosis and treatment, aiming to provide insights for improving the management of TS.
