Description
This book provides a focused approach to the Turner Syndrome, dealing specifically with recent important advances in various growth-promoting therapies. The overlapping designs of many of these studies provide insight into the nuances of growth in general, as well as specifically in the Turner Syndrome. More importantly, they provide a basis for an optimistic view that growth rate, pubertal development, and adult height of girls with Turner syndrome may all begin to approach normal parameters.
