“…The majority of studies assessing internipple index are comprised of patients in the newborn period ( Table 4 ) ( 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ). The newborn period is an important time and opportunity for recognizing dysmorphic syndromes.…”

To determine internipple distance and internipple index in prepubertal Turkish girls. Methods: The internipple distance and chest circumference of 667 healthy prepubertal Turkish girls aged 6 to 11 years were measured in a school screening program in Düzce. Measurements were performed at the end of expiration with a standard non-stretch tape measure graduated in millimeters with the arms hanging in a relaxed position on the sides of the body. The internipple distance was measured between the centers of both nipples, and chest circumference was measured across the internipple line. The internipple index was calculated by dividing the internipple distance (cm) x100 by the chest circumference (cm). Age specific internipple index reference curves were constructed and smoothed with the Lambda-Mu-Sigma method. Mean and standard deviations of internipple distance and internipple index were calculated according to decimal ages. Results: Age was found to be positively correlated with internipple distance and chest circumference, while it was negatively correlated with internipple index. The reference values of internipple index, including 3 rd , 10 th , 25 th , 50 th , 75 th , 90 th , and 97 th percentiles, and standard deviations were calculated for prepubertal girls. Conclusion: The reference ranges provided by this study might be helpful for the evaluation of syndromic cases by serving as normative data for internipple index in prepubertal girls aged 6-11 years in Turkey although ethnic differences may affect applicability to other countries.

“…There are different views on the influence of ethnicity on internipple index measurements ( 1 , 16 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ). In addition to ethnicity, methodologies and measurement devices may also contribute to these differences in internipple distance.…”

“…Involvement of a multitude of organ systems in Turner syndrome makes it difficult for any single clinician to appropriately diagnose Turner syndrome and contributes to delayed diagnosis. We have compiled a comprehensive list of common physical features with dysmorphology diagnostic criteria for facilitated reference (Table 1) [3,6–36]. Diagnosis requires the presence of characteristic physical features in a phenotypic female and complete or partial absence of one X chromosome, with or without cell line mosaicism.…”

Purpose of reviewTurner syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in female individuals, affecting 1/2000–1/2500 female newborns. Despite the high incidence of this condition, the mechanisms underlying the development of multiorgan dysfunction have not been elucidated.Recent findingsClinical features involve multiple organ systems and include short stature, dysmorphic facial features, delayed puberty and gonadal failure, cardiac and renal abnormalities, audiologic abnormalities, and a high prevalence of endocrine and autoimmune disorders. Paucity of available genotype/phenotype correlation limits the ability of clinicians to provide accurate guidance and management. Given the advent of robust genetic testing and analysis platforms, developments in the genetic basis of disease are materializing at a rapid pace.SummaryThe objective of this review is to highlight the recent advances in knowledge and to provide a framework with which to apply new data to the foundational understanding of the condition.
