To describe clinical features in Indian girls with Turner syndrome along with the phenotype-karyotype correlation.
103 girls with Turner syndrome were divided into karyotype-groups: Classic (45X), 45,X/46,XX mosaics, isochromosomeXq (46,X,iXq and 45,X/46,X,iXq mosaics), 45,X/46,XYmosaics and structural defects, and analyzed for phenotypic differences.
Majority (44.1%) had classic karyotype followed by isochromosome-Xq (26.5%). Classic Turner syndrome had higher prevalence of most skeletal and cutaneous stigmata, cubitus valgus (68.3%) and multiple nevi (68.2%) being the commonest. Bicuspid aortic valve was most common in 45,X/46,XX mosaics (5/15, 33.3%), and aortic coarctation in classic TS (3/42, 7.2%). Congenital renal anomalies occurred mostly in classic TS (6/42,14.3%). Overt hypothyroidism, conductive deafness and recurrent otitis media were commonest in isochromosomes (P<0.03). 45,X/46,XY mosaics had highest IQ (P<0.005).
We report some novel associations of karyotype with non-endocrine parameters in Turner syndrome. In resource-limited settings, underlying karyotype may help prioritize screening investigations in girls with Turner syndrome.
描述特纳综合征印度女孩的临床特征,并探讨表型与核型的相关性。
将 103 名特纳综合征女孩分为核型组:经典型(45X)、45,X/46,XX 嵌合体、X 染色体等臂(46,X,iXq 和 45,X/46,X,iXq 嵌合体)、45,X/46,XY 嵌合体和结构缺陷,并分析其表型差异。
大多数(44.1%)患者为经典核型,其次是等臂 X 染色体(26.5%)。经典特纳综合征患者具有更高的大多数骨骼和皮肤特征、肘外翻(68.3%)和多发性痣(68.2%)的患病率。二叶式主动脉瓣在 45,X/46,XX 嵌合体中最为常见(5/15,33.3%),而经典 TS 中主动脉缩窄最为常见(3/42,7.2%)。先天性肾脏异常在经典 TS 中最为常见(6/42,14.3%)。明显的甲状腺功能减退、传导性耳聋和复发性中耳炎在等臂染色体中最为常见(P<0.03)。45,X/46,XY 嵌合体的智商最高(P<0.005)。
我们报告了特纳综合征中核型与非内分泌参数之间的一些新关联。在资源有限的环境中,潜在的核型可能有助于优先对特纳综合征女孩进行筛查调查。
