Turner’S Syndrome

The palm- and finger-prints of 10 patients suspected to have Tumers syn¬drome were analysed. The results were compared to the dermatoglyphic patterns characteristic of Turner’s syndrome found in the literature. In 3 cases a dermatoglyphic picture corresponding to that of the literature was observed. In one case a perfect analysis could not be performed because of a congenital malformation of one of the hands. In 4 cases no perfect correspondence was found. With the aid of dermatoglyphic examinations the possibility of Turner’s syndrome was excluded in 2 cases. In these 2 cases the karyotypes did not prove to be X monosomy either. The method is believed to be useful for dif-ferential diagnosis of gonadal dysgenesis.

ABSTRACT Twenty-two patients with gonadal dysgenesis (14 45,XO; median age 13.6 years; 8 mosaics, median age 12.3 years) were studied regarding their clinical onset of adrenarche (pubarche) and breast development. The latter was considered evidence of gonadarche. 1/22 showed breast development, stage 2; 9/22 had pubarche, stage 2-4. The 24 -urinary excretion of androsterone, etiocholanolone, dehydroepiandrosterone, 16α- and 16β-dehydroepiandrosterone was studied in these patients by urinary capillary column gas chromatography profiling. The urinary steroid profiles of twenty-one healthy, normal girls (median age 10.4 years) served as controls. Dehydroepiandrosterone and its 16-hydroxylated derivatives were excreted in significantly greater amounts by the patients with Turner's syndrome as compared to normal girls. These findings support the hypothesis, that adrenarche is independent of gonadarche and proceeds even in instances of gonadal dysgenesis.

Radiologic Sign

A new X-ray sign of gonadal dysgenesis is described. In this series nine out of ten patients with Turner's syndrome have a coarse, reticular pattern of the carpal bones. A comparison with other previously described roentgenographic characteristics on hand and wrist films of these children leads to the conclusion that the new sign is more reliable and specific.
