(SD 2.0). Patients were measured at intervals ranging from 0,5 to 1.5 years dur~ng 1 to 11 years at the division of Endocrinology Htal R. Gutierrez.Fiflieth centile was estimated by adjusting a 5 degree polynomial to the mean height obtained at each 0.5 year interval. Residual SD of the fitting was very low (0.8 cm ). First derivative of the median distance curve showed that adult he~ght (height velocity less than 0.2 cmlyear) is atta~ned at 18.2 yr. Mean adult height was 137.9 cm. with SD of 5,7 cm , very similar to the SD found in healthy argentine female population. Chi Square test for d~fferences between distribution of raw date among selected centiles and theoretical expected distribution was not significant The differences between adult height of local Turner girls and adult height of Turner girls from other population are similar to the population differences between normal girls Voto, M.Margulies.
