Turner Syndrome and Alopecia: What Relation?
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Turner syndrome is a rare genetic condition characterized by total or partial loss of one of the X chromosomes. Affecting approximately 1/2500 newborn females, it almost consistently associates short stature, premature ovarian failure and infertility. A variety of additional symptoms can occur including abnormalities of the eyes and ears, skeletal malformations, heart anomalies, kidney abnormalities and skin manifestations. We report the case of a patient followed for alopecia, referred for short stature and whose explorations concluded to the diagnosis of Turner syndrome.
