Turner Syndrome

Turner Syndrome (TS) with karyotype 45, X is one of the most common cytogenetic abnormalities (1:2500 among newborn females). It is compatible with life, even though the great majority (more that 99%) of the conceptuses with karyotype 45, X are a spontaneously loss, usually before 28 weeks of gestation. Individuals with TS, they present extremely variable phenotypes. Despite their undifferentiated gonads, women usually have clearly female external and internal genitals. However, the uterus normally is small and its development depends on hormonal stimuli. Almost all girls with TS have short stature (98%) and ovarian failure. TS is characterized by a multisystemic involvement (cardiac, renal, orthopedic, ophthalmic and physical), responsible for a high morbidity and an increased mortality at all ages. Journal of Steroids & Hormonal Science is an official journal of OMICS group international that publishes the articles related to turner. The peer review followed by Journal of Steroids & Hormonal Science is single blind peer review process. This sort of review process will enable the authors to make the required manipulations and improve the quality of their work as per the experts opinion.
