“…These results are in agreement with other studies, which demonstrated that TS subjects in a partner relationship reported relatively normal overall sexual function, but those without partners declared very low-level sexual functioning. 12,28 Conversely to TS subjects, large differences were encountered when comparing OCH women with controls in most of the domains and in total score. These results could be interpreted as an important complaint of these patients regarding their sexual life, and although HRT is standard for women with premature ovarian failure at age Ͻ50 years, pharmacological hormone regimens do not fully mimic natural steroids production.…”

“…Women with TS seem more likely to be delayed in achieving adult sexual and social developmental milestones compared with norms. 11 Research with young adults with TS has shown a self-perception of poor social competence among women with mixed TS karyotypes when compared with controls, and of greater withdrawal from peer-interactions among women with 45,X karyotypes compared with other karyotypes. 12 Women with TS, along with karyotypically normal women with premature ovarian failure, have also reported heightened levels of shyness, social anxiety, depression, and decreased self-esteem in comparison with healthy women.…”

“…Women with TS move away from home later, are older at sexual debut compared to average population reference data (206,452,453) and show impaired sexual function particularly relating to arousal (454). They should have access to a gynecologist experienced in ovarian insufficiency in young women.…”

Turner syndrome affects 25-50 per 100,000 females and can involve multiple organs through all stages of life, necessitating multidisciplinary approach to care. Previous guidelines have highlighted this, but numerous important advances have been noted recently. These advances cover all specialty fields involved in the care of girls and women with TS. This paper is based on an international effort that started with exploratory meetings in 2014 in both Europe and the USA, and culminated with a Consensus Meeting held in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA in July 2016. Prior to this meeting, five groups each addressed important areas in TS care: 1) diagnostic and genetic issues, 2) growth and development during childhood and adolescence, 3) congenital and acquired cardiovascular disease, 4) transition and adult care, and 5) other comorbidities and neurocognitive issues. These groups produced proposals for the present guidelines. Additionally, four pertinent questions were submitted for formal GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) evaluation with a separate systematic review of the literature. These four questions related to the efficacy and most optimal treatment of short stature, infertility, hypertension, and hormonal replacement therapy. The guidelines project was initiated by the European Society of Endocrinology and the Pediatric Endocrine Society, in collaboration with the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology, the Endocrine Society, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, the American Heart Association, the Society for Endocrinology, and the European Society of Cardiology. The guideline has been formally endorsed by the European Society of Endocrinology, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and Summary of recommendationsThe recommendations (R) are worded as recommend (strong recommendation) and suggest (weak recommendation). We formally graded only the evidence underlying recommendations for therapeutic choices. The quality of evidence behind the recommendations is classified as very low (⨁◯◯◯), low (⨁⨁◯◯), moderate (⨁⨁⨁◯) and strong (⨁⨁⨁⨁). See further section 'Summary of methods used for guideline development'. Diagnosis and geneticsR 1.1. We recommend considering a diagnosis of TS in phenotypic females with a karyotype containing one X chromosome and complete or partial absence of the second sex chromosome, associated with one or more typical clinical manifestations of TS (⨁⨁⨁⨁). R 1.2. We recommend against considering a diagnosis of TS in females with one X chromosome and a deletion distal to Xq24 on the other X chromosome, and in women over the age of 50 years with less than 5% 45,X mosaicism (⨁⨁◯◯). R 1.3. We suggest that the new general surveillance management guideline applies to TS patients with any karyotype (⨁⨁◯◯). R 1.4. We recommend to consider testing for Turner syndrome (TS) in a female with typical signs (Table 2) (⨁⨁⨁⨁). R 1.5. We ...
