NICHD TS PROTOCOL 2001-2012
• 400 participants 7-67 yrs
• Recent focus on
cardiovascular evaluation
• ~100 participants in
longitudinal follow-up
studies focused on aortic
complications and
ischemic heart disease
STUDY PARTICIPANTS BY AGE GROUP
Epidemiology
• 1/200 conceptions
• 1/2500 live births
• <50% adults with TS are
diagnosed
• Sporadic
• Not clearly related to maternal
age
• All races & regions
• Only monosomy compatible
with life
Stochholm K et al. JCEM
2006;91:3897-3902
Chromosomal Origins
• Non-disjunction of sex chromosomes during meiosis
– 45X
• Non-disjunction during early embryonic mitoses
– Cell line mosaicism: 45X/46XX; 45X/47XXX; 45X/46XY
– Abundance of normal cell line typically attenuates phenotype
• Fragmentation of a sex chromosome during meiosis
– 46XiXq, 46XdelXp, 46XdelY
– Loss of the fragmented X or Y in some cells
during embryonic development
cell line mosaicism 45X/46XiXq, etc
The Lyon Hypothesis
• In cells with multiple Xchromosomes, all but one
are inactivated during
embryogenesis
• X-inactivation leads to
clumped chromatin, termed
Barr bodies, considered
inert (Lyonization)
• So is the 2nd X totally
superfluous?
Why a 45,X phenotype ?
• Pseudoautosomal genes
– Present on both X & Y
– Not inactivated
• SHOX – short stature
• ??Congenital heart disease
Pseudoautosomal
region 1 (PAR1)
Y
X
PAR2
Trimethylation of H3 at Lys4;
Khalil et al, 2007
• Genomic imprinting of Xlinked genes
• 46,XX females are 50:50
mosaic for XM & XP
– 45,X females are
monosomic for XM OR XP
– ??Ischemic heart disease
Presented age 27 - infertility
•OCP to regulate
menses age 15
•Cont. til age 25
•Father 6’, mother 5’5”
•Her predicted ht 5’6”
•High-arched palate
•Low posterior hairline
•Cubitus valgus
45,X[45]/46,XrX[5]
Clues from PMH, FH and PE
• Chronic otitis, shorter than sisters, less than
mid-parental height (F-5” + M)/2; history
Coarc repair, other CHD
• Mx nevi, high-arched palate, short 4th MCP or
MTP, short or web neck, low hair line, low set
ears
To confirm the diagnosis of TS
 20-30 cell peripheral blood karyotype is gold
standard
 3-5 ml blood in heparinized tube at room T˚
 Cytogenetics referral lab
 2-3 wk turnaround & costly
 New methods
 Whole genome snp chips
Affymetric Cytosnp

Further study to identify Y-materialFISH, PCR or array
Concern about Y chromosome material
 ~12% risk for gonadoblastoma
 large primordial germ cells, immature
granulosa or Sertoli cells , stromal cells
 Unknown risk for conversion to
malignancy, e.g., dysgerminoma
 Anecdotal evidence
 Standard of care at present –
laparascopic bilateral gonadectomy
 Psychological counseling
 Consider preservation of ovarian
follicles
Fertility Preservation in Girls with Turner Syndrome
Borgström Birgit, Hovatta Outi -Karolinska Institutet, JCEM 2009
• 15/56 biopsied girls
had ovarian follicles
• Recommend
laparascopic
harvesting/freezing
of juvenile ovarian
tissue for later
fertility
Ovarian Failure in TS
 Fetal ovaries develop normally but experience accelerated follicular atresia
 Biphasic FSH levels – difficulty in predicting spontaneous puberty (Conte et al.,
1975)
 Spontaneous menarche in ~16% (Pasquino et al., 1997)
 More common in 45,X/46,XX
 2 amenorrhea or irregular cycles in ~half of these girls within 2 yrs
 Spontaneous pregnancy in 1-2%
NICHD, NIH, DHHS
Illustrative Case
• Swedish woman with menarche and full pubertal
development age 13, irregular menses
• Premature menopause diagnosis ~age 32
• At least two unsuccessful IVF w/donated oocytes
• Spontaneous pregnancy age 36 w/ NSVD
• 2nd spontaneous pregnancy age 38
– Htn, chest pain, aortic dissection 7th month
– Emergency C-section and aortic repair
• Endocrine clinic- 45,X/46,X,delY—DX TS
• Prophylactic gonadectomy age 40
Journal of Assisted Reproduction and
Genetics 21;229-230,
Comments…
• Consider the diagnosis of TS
– Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism
• Do not assume infertility if Y chromosome
material is detected
– Oocyte preservation
• Serious cardio complications in natural as
well as ART pregnancies
Illustrative case(2)
• DG- classic presentation of TS dx’d at birth
• Participated in pediatric GH Rx protocol in 1990’s.
– Started on estradiol at age 12 per protocol; dose escalated
to full pubertal development by age 15, lost to f/u
• Spontaneous full term pregnancy age 18
– Evaluated in our TS protocol at age 20
• Height 4’7”, single kidney, BAV, FSH 40, no visible ovaries
• Prescribed OCP for HRT
– Returned for protocol f/u age 25 - 3 mo pregnant
• Delivered 2nd healthy son at full term and reportedly resumed OCP
– PBC karyotype 200/200 cells 45,X; skin bx 45,X
Comments (2)
• Patients, parents and care-givers of girls with
full blown TS dx’d in infancy may assume
pregnancy is not possible or that the girl will
not sexually active
• Importance of patient/parent sex education in
this special situation

NIH study, Hadnott et al
• Of 276 women with Turner syndrome >25 yr:
– 88% had no children
– 9% adopted children
– 3% spontaneous or assisted pregnancy (1)
• Participants had a total of 13 pregnancies and 14 live
births
• One child had cerebral palsy; the others were
chromosomally and developmentally normal.
• One pre-eclampsia
• One (mother of twins) has dilation of asc. aorta
Fertility and Sterility
Volume 95, 2011, 2251–2256
Oocyte donation in TS
• Karnis et al 2003 estimated ~2% maternal
mortality (F&S)
– Aortic rupture or dissection
• Chevalier et al 2011 < 35% of women prescreened for CVS disease
– Poor fetal and maternal outcomes; 2/93 patients
died due to aortic rupture (JCEM)
• Hagman et al 2013 reviewed 122 deliveries- no
fatalities and generally good fetal outcomes

Increased maternal cardiovascular mortality associated
with pregnancy in women with Turner syndrome
•Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine
•Received 22 November 2011. Accepted 29 November 2011. Available online 21 December 2011.
 TS a relative contra-indication to pregnancy
 Comprehensive cardiological and maternal-fetal medicine
eval. before considering pregnancy by oocyte donation.
 Cardiac MRI revealing any significant abnormality and/or
ASI >2 cm/m2 (ascending aortic diameter/BSA) represents
an absolute contraindication for attempting pregnancy in a
woman with Turner syndrome.
 Women with normal cardiac MRI and evaluation who
decide to attempt pregnancy after thorough counseling are
still at much higher risk for associated morbidity and
mortality and require careful observation and frequent
formal reevaluation throughout gestation and postpartum.

• Gradual induction of sexual maturation
beginning by age 12
• Full dose by age 18 through ~ age 40
– OC, 2 mg estradiol, 100 mg transdermal estradiol
– Best choice for cycling is unknown
– Adherence is paramount
• Beginning age 35-40
– lower dose, plan to taper and dc by age 50

Dilation of Ascending
Aorta
A
Cardiac magnetic resonance
angiography (CMRA) showing a dilated
ascending aorta (solid arrow) and
normal descending aorta (open arrow).
This patient has a distinctive squaring
off and elongation of the transverse
aortic arch with a prominent kink at the
transition to descending aorta
(arrowhead) termed ETA.
Although the actual diameter of the
ascending aorta in this woman was
only 3.7 cm, which is considered at the
upper limit of normal for women of her
age, it is almost 3-fold larger than the
descending aorta (normal
ascending/descending ratio is < 1.5).
B
3.7 cm
Value of CMR in TS
• Diagnose occult but clinically significant
– Coarctation - dissection
– Anomalous pulmonary veins
• Detects abnormal aortic valve in 15% of cases not visualized
on cardiac echo
• Visualize entire aortic arch revealing ascending dilatation
relative to descending

Cochlear implants, no medications
– Recent back pain prompted plain Xrays (aortic
calcifications) and DXA (diffuse osteoporosis)
– PE- Many signs of TS, appearing considerably older than
62. Disparity in right and left arm BP (R>L). Bilat carotid
bruits. Tanner 1 breast and T2 pubic hair.

Final comments
• It is never too late to diagnose TS
• There is an excess of atherosclerosis as well as
congenital heart disease
QOL Issues in TS
• Carel et al in JCEM 2005-2006
– disappointment with GH treatment for SS. Self-esteem
and social adjustment in young women with TS more
influenced by pubertal management and sexuality

Health
Importance of “Truth Telling”
• During interview sessions addressing concerns about living with TS, 30/97
participants spontaneously mentioned that all or part of their TS
diagnosis had been withheld from them
• Fifteen girls and women from whom a secret had been kept knew every
aspect of their diagnosis except the infertility component
– “The doctor finished his exam and I got dressed and went in. And he just kind of
stopped, put his pen down and went, ‘you know you’re not having kids ever, don't
you?' So that was the hardest time.” (Diagnosed at 17, learned of infertility at 19.)
– “I did get upset with my mother [when I found out]…. She… didn't explain. She said,
‘Well, what’s the big deal?' I said, ‘I think it would have helped me to understand myself
a little bit better. To tell—to fill in the gaps to tell you more of the story.’” (Diagnosed at
17, learned infertile at 28)
– “There I am at this sterile place. And I found out that since the age of 9 to 16, everyone
knew something I had no knowledge of about me that was pretty darn important. I was
told [I was infertile] in such a horrendous way. And all I knew was that the people that I
trusted forever were willing to betray me.” (Diagnosed at 9, learned infertile at 16).

Psychosocial Outcomes in TS
• Adults w/ TS 25 yr and older in NIH Study*
– N=261
– Average age 38 yr; average height 147 cm
– 65% had a baccalaureate degree (vs. 25% US women)
– 6% had advanced degree (vs. 3% US women)
– 80% employed (vs. 55% US women)
• Similar findings in recent Danish registry study- suggesting
ascertainment bias not crucial (Stochholm et al EJE, 2012)
*Gould et al, J Women’s Health 2013
X Chromosome Imprinting
• Genomic imprinting of X-linked genes
– Men monosomic for XM
– Because or random X-inactivation, women are
~50:50% mosaic XM & XP
– Genes imprinted or silenced on XM will be
expressed in ~50% of female but in no male
cells
– Genes imprinted on XP will be expressed in
~50% of female but suppressed in male cells
