Activity Description

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome, most commonly in phenotypic females. The condition arises from meiotic nondisjunction or structural abnormalities of the X chromosome and occurs sporadically, without established environmental risk factors or association with advanced parental age. Disruption of X-chromosome material impairs normal growth and gonadal development, leading to characteristic features such as short stature, delayed puberty, primary amenorrhea, and neonatal lymphedema, as well as physical findings including a webbed neck and low-set ears. Diagnosis is confirmed by karyotype analysis, often initiated after recognition of growth delay or distinctive phenotypic features. Management requires lifelong monitoring because of risks of infertility, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders.

This educational activity equips clinicians with the knowledge needed to recognize, diagnose, and manage Turner syndrome across the lifespan. Participants gain insight into the condition's genetic basis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic strategies, and evidence-based treatment approaches, including growth hormone therapy, estrogen replacement, and surveillance for associated comorbidities. Emphasis is placed on early identification and longitudinal care to improve health outcomes. Collaboration within an interprofessional team, including endocrinology, cardiology, genetics, and primary care, enhances coordinated screening, timely intervention, and comprehensive support, ultimately optimizing quality of life and long-term outcomes for individuals with Turner syndrome.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Interpret genetic testing results, imaging studies, and laboratory data relevant to the diagnosis and management of Turner syndrome.

  • Improve patients' understanding of the causes, associated health risks, and available therapies for Turner syndrome to support informed decision-making and long-term care planning.
