title: Iron malabsorption and hypochromic anemia in a case of Turner's syndrome.
abstract: Refractory hypochromic anemia was investigated in an adult with Turner's syndrome. Reduced iron absorption, serum iron, and iron incorporation were found in association with increased iron binding capacity and plasma iron turnover. 14 of 57 additional XO subjects were found anemic.
