This article, titled "Editorial: Transition to adulthood in Turner syndrome," discusses the challenges and healthcare needs faced by individuals with Turner syndrome (TS) as they transition from pediatric to adult care. TS is a genetic condition characterized by the loss or abnormality of the second X chromosome and affects approximately 1 in 2000-2500 live-born female infants. The cardinal features of TS include short stature, primary ovarian insufficiency, dysmorphic traits, and associated abnormalities. The article emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing the various health issues associated with TS, including hormonal replacement therapy and fertility preservation. It also highlights the need for improved transition from pediatric to adult healthcare and the importance of early interventions such as growth hormone therapy and puberty induction. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for comprehensive and tailored healthcare approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals with TS throughout their lifespan.
