Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of signs of Turner syndrome [ Time Frame: three to six years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Girls diagnosed with Turner syndrome by fetal ascertainment will have more signs of Turner syndrome than girls diagnosed by maternal ascertainment


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Growth [ Time Frame: three to six years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Do girls with Turner syndrome ascertained by fetal ascertainment grow differently than girls ascertained by maternal ascertainment.


Estimated Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: January 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: January 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date: January 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
Fetal ascertainment
Girls who are diagnosed with Turner syndrome because of concerns raised by an abnormal fetal ultrasound.
Maternal ascertainment
Girls who are diagnosed with Turner syndrome because their mothers had an amniocentesis for a reason other than an abnormal fetal ultrasound concerning for Turner syndrome. For example an amniocentesis was done because of advanced maternal age or because of an abnormal triple screen or because another condition was being screened for such as trisomy 21.

Detailed Description:

This is an observational study which will look at girls who are diagnosed with Turner syndrome before they are born. Girls will be divided into two groups: 1) those diagnosed because of features seen on ultrasound which raised the question of Turner syndrome and 2) those diagnosed incidentally when their mother had an amniocentesis for another reason such as advanced maternal age.

No clinical procedures nor interventions will be done as part of this data collection study which will occur for the first 3 to 6 years of the girl's life. The investigators will be looking to see if girls who are diagnosed incidentally have less features of Turner syndrome than those girls who are diagnosed because of fetal ultrasound.
