Familial factors and hearing impairment modulate the neuromotor phenotype in Turner syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

In Turner syndrome (TS), an X-chromosomal anomaly characterised by total or partial loss of the second X-chromosome, muscle hypotonia, and lower proficiency in fine and gross motor skills have been described. It is assumed that the neuromotor phenotype in TS is linked with X-chromosomal factors (individual mosaicism) and with the oestrogen deficiency due to streak gonads. From studies in normal populations, a...
