Gonadotropin levels in all Turner syndrome (TS) patients present a diphasic pattern: highest in early childhood, declining at 6–10 years of age, and then increasing again. Here, we have investigated whether karyotype or FSH&LH can be used as indicators of spontaneous puberty in TS. From a consecutive group of 139 TS girls treated at one clinical center (1996–2015) the clinical & biochemical data were finally analyzed in 110 TS patients (1268 visits). The stud...
