Abstract
Data on birth, growth and final height were collected retrospectively for 78 women with Turner's syndrome born 1955‐66. Seventy‐one had received estrogen treatment from a mean age of 17.7 years (SD=2.0 years), while 7 were spontaneously menstruating. At birth Turner girls were 440 g lighter (p<0.001) and 1.4 cm shorter (p0.7). Correlations between FH and parental heights, birthweight and birthlength were similar to those reported for normal women (19). FH varied with age at diagnosis. Those diagnosed after 17 years of age had a mean FH=151.3 cm, while those diagnosed before had a mean FH=145.8 cm (p<0.001).Keywords
