Assessing aortic dilatation using aortic sized index is inappropriate in children and adolescents with Turner syndrome

Wong S C , Ehtisham S , Cheung M , Zacharin M

Background: Aortic sized index (ASI) defined as aortic dimensions/body surface area (BSA), has been proposed as a method of identifying aortic dilatation in Turner syndrome. A recent paper reported centile charts of aortic dimensions across for BSA using echocardiogram in 451 children and adults with TS allowing for calculation of Z scores.1Methods: We report Z scores for aortic root adjusted for BSA from clinical echocardiog...

Young adults with Klinefelter syndrome and congenital anorchia treated with testosterone from adolescence have normal bone and muscle mass but increased central adiposity

Wong S C , Scott D , Smriti T , Ebeling P , Zacharin M

Background: Decreased bone mineral density using dual energy absorptiometry (DXA) is reported in mixed cohorts of testosterone treated and testosterone naïve men with Klinefelter syndrome (KS). Bone mass and body composition in men with congenital anorchia (CA) have not been reported.Hypothesis: Men with KS and CA treated with testosterone from adolescence have normal bone mass and body composition.Methods: DXA and pQCT were p...
