Article Abstract
Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic condition in phenotypic females in which the individual has 1 intact X chromosome and the second sex chromosome is absent or structurally altered Components of Y chromosome (eg, 45,X/46,XY) have been found in 5%-15% of patients with TS; these patients are often referred to as having "Turner syndrome with Y" (TS+Y). The presence of Y chromosome material increases risk for development of gonadal tumors. Historically, prophylactic gonadectomy has been recommended in this population to prevent malignancy, and patients were presumed infertile due to the presence of streak gonads with no germ cells (GCs). More recently, studies have reported on spontaneous puberty and menarche in TS+Y patients suggesting the presence of viable GC and ovarian function. Our institution offers patients with TS+Y the option of experimental gonadal tissue cryopreservation (GTC) at the time of gonadectomy. We present a unique case of a young girl with TS+Y who had GCs present in her gonads and underwent experimental GTC at the time of gonadectomy.

Background: Turner syndrome (TS), also known as congenital ovarian hypoplasia, is one of the most common sex chromosome diseases in women. It is caused by the complete or partial deletion or structural change of one X chromosome in all or part of somatic cells. A rare case of karyotype Turner syndrome is reported.

Acroscyphodysplasia (ASD) is an ultra-rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by severe brachydactyly, metaphyseal scaphoid knee deformities, growth retardation, and intellectual disability. To date, only seven cases of ASD have been reported, all associated with missense variants in the gene. We report a 7-year-old girl with ASD features, including midface hypoplasia, severe growth retardation (-4.

Background And Aims: Data on cardiovascular outcomes and aortic growth in pregnant women with Turner syndrome is limited. We examine the cardiovascular and pregnancy outcomes in these women and analyze aortic growth throughout pregnancy.
Methods: The ROPAC III is a global, prospective, observational registry that enrolled pregnancies of women pre-pregnancy known with Turner syndrome from 2018 to 2023.
Association of coarctation of aorta with Turner syndrome: a case report.

Background: Monosomy 45,X is commonly associated with congenital heart defects, particularly coarctation of the aorta (CoA). In this case, the patient developed respiratory distress due to hemodynamic instability from a large bidirectional patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) shunt and systemic hypoperfusion secondary to CoA, which complicated diagnosis and management.
Case Presentation: We report a 34-week premature female neonate weighing 1.
Epigenetic age acceleration in Turner and Klinefelter syndrome: Correlations with clinical aging markers.

Background: The sex chromosome aneuploidies Turner syndrome (45,X; TS) and Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY; KS) are associated with aging-related comorbidities, reduced life expectancy and genome-wide DNA methylation changes. This indicates that biological aging, reflecting physiological function rather than chronological age, is increased in both syndromes. To investigate whether DNA methylation patterns linked to physiological decline could contribute to the comorbidity patterns and reduced lifespan in TS and KS, we applied so-called epigenetic clocks to DNA methylation data from cohorts of TS (n = 57) compared to female controls (n = 33) and KS (n = 65) compared to male controls (n = 63).
