Özet
Turner syndrome (TS) is a common chromosomal
disorder occurring in 1:2500 female live births. The most
common presenting symptom in girls with TS is short
stature which is mild during early childhood but becomes
more notable with age. Untreated females are reported
to be approximately 18-20 cm shorter than the general
population (1,2,3,4).
Growth curves are widely used in pediatric practice and
are very important tools for the evaluation of child health
(5,6,7,8,9). The curves proposed by international health
organizations, such as the World Health Organization (10)
and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (11),
provide growth evaluation in children belonging to different
ethnicities and socio-economic conditions. However,
children with specific diseases (including TS) and having a
specific growth pattern cannot be well assessed with the
curves designed for healthy children. Thus, disease-specific
growth charts are required for better evaluation of growth
and response to growth-promoting therapies in certain
diseases.
