Early diagnosis and treatment
2010
Medical evidence indicates that early diagnosis and treatment will lead to a better outcome for girls with Turner Syndrome. Turner Syndrome is a random mutation of chromosomes, and affects only females. There is an absence of all or part of the second X chromosomes in some or all of the cells in the body. If a child does not exhibit classic TS characteristics, but is falling below the curve of the growth chart, is verbally gifted, and possibly exhibiting educational or social challenges, she may have TS. Ask a doctor for a simple blood test called a Karyotype. With a TS diagnosis, screening for other related health issues, medical treatments, and early interventions can promote an overall positive self-esteem and healthy future.
