Reimann GE, et al. - Researchers studied psychosocial profiles of adult women diagnosed with Turner syndrome before (early diagnosis) and at or after (late diagnosis) 13 years of age in a cross-sectional study at the National Institutes of Health. The possible contribution of Turner syndrome diagnoses received at or after age 13 years to adverse outcomes related to depression, substance use, and perceptions of competence, was suggested. The risk for negative psychosocial development extending into adulthood may be seen in women and girls who received delayed Turner syndrome diagnoses. The assessment of psychosocial domains in girls with Turner syndrome regularly, particularly among those diagnosed at age 13 years or older, was considered important.
