“…Interestingly, the most severe deficit (−1·8 SD) was observed in the single leg balance test. Impaired balance was also reported by other authors . While impaired muscle activation rather than central nervous system planning and programming seems to be the mechanism of poor balance control in patients with TS, the genetic cause is located on the short arm of the X chromosome .…”

“…The neuropsychological profile that is often observed in women with Turner syndrome is characterized by age‐appropriate verbal abilities with core deficits in visuospatial skills, quantitative/math reasoning skills, social communication, executive functions, and fine motor skills and coordination (reviewed in Knickmeyer & Hooper, ; El‐Mansoury, Barrenas, Bryman, Hanson, & Landin‐Wilhelmsen, ). Historically, this constellation of strengths and weaknesses has been referred to as a nonverbal learning disability (NLD).…”

Turner syndrome is recognized now as a syndrome familiar not only to pediatricians and pediatric specialists, medical geneticists, adult endocrinologists, and cardiologists, but also increasingly to primary care providers, internal medicine specialists, obstetricians, and reproductive medicine specialists. In addition, the care of women with Turner syndrome may involve social services, and various educational and neuropsychologic therapies. This article focuses on the recognition and management of Turner syndrome

Turner syndrome (TS), although considered a rare disease, is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in women, with an incident of 1 in 2500 female births. TS is characterized by distinctive physical features such as short stature, ovarian dysgenesis, an increased risk for heart and renal defects as well as a specific cognitive and psychosocial phenotype. Given the complexity of the condition, patients face manifold difficulties which increase over the lifespan. Furthermore, failures during the transitional phase to adult care result in moderate health outcomes and decreased quality of life. Guidelines on the optimal screening procedures and medical treatment are easy to find. However, recommendations for the treatment of the incriminating psychosocial aspects in TS are scarce. In this work, we first reviewed the literature on the cognitive and psychosocial development of girls with TS compared with normal development, from disclosure to young adulthood, and then introduce a psychosocial approach to counseling and treating patients with TS, including recommendations for age-appropriate psychological diagnostics. With this work, we aim to facilitate the integration of emphasized psychosocial care in state-of-the-art treatment for girls and women with TS.

Impaired body balance, fine motor function and hearing in women with Turner syndrome

Abstract: FM and BB were poorer in adult TS women on HRT than in controls. Higher age, hearing impairment, osteoporosis, abdominal obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and the TS per se were strong determinants, and mosaicism mitigated both fine motor function and BB in TS.
