RESUMO
Background:
Short stature is the main feature of patients with Turner's syndrome. There is limited information regarding the spontaneous growth of these patients in Chile.Aim:
To develop a specific growth chart for Chilean patients with Turner's syndrome. Material andmethods:
We retrospectively analyzed 668 height measurements from 85 Chilean girls, born after 1968, with 45XO karyotype (minimum 15 percent), and without an Y chromosome fragment. Patients with hormonal therapy, such as growth hormone or estrogen, except thyroid hormone replacement, were excluded.Results:
The karyotypes were 60 percent 45XO, 25 percent 45XO, 46XX, and 15 percent other complex mosaics. The birth length was 46.8 ñ 2.1 cm. The final height of our patients was 138,20 ñ 7,0 cm.Conclusions:
The final height achieved by our patients, is similar to Argentinian and Japanese patients, but is below the mean stature reported for Scandinavian and Northamerican patients who achieve a mean adult height of approximately 147 and 142 cm respectively. The birth length is also lower than that reported in those studies
