CONTEXT: The low bone mineral density (BMD) and alterations in bone geometry observed in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) are likely caused by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and/or by haploinsufficiency of the SHOX gene. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to compare BMD, bone geometry, and strength at the radius between prepubertal girls with TS and children with isolated SHOX deficiency (SHOX-D) to test the...
