title: [Impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus in Ullrich-Turner syndrome. A literature review].
abstract: In patients with Ullrich-Turner-syndrome below the age of 40, the frequency of impaired glucose tolerance is about 30%. The prevalence of overt diabetes mellitus, however, is not known, as no studies in older patients are available. There are no indications (islet cell antibodies, HLA-status) for an immunologic disease similar to type-I-diabetes mellitus. The pathogenesis of carbohydrate intolerance in Ullrich-Turner-syndrome therefore remains to be elucidated. So far, no dramatic deterioration has been reported during GH therapy for acceleration of height velocity in girls with the syndrome, however a close surveillance of carbohydrate metabolism during such therapy is advisable.
