Hormonal changes during development in Turner's syndrome.
The hormonal changes observed during infancy, childhood and adolescence in patients with Turner's syndrome are reviewed, with particular emphasis on gonadotrophins and GH. The relative roles of gonadal insufficiency, maturation of the CNS and disturbed body composition (i.e. obesity) are discussed with respect to the endocrine findings.
