Fertility Preservation in Turner Syndrome Females

Sandra Vigg*

This article examines the existing fertility preservation options for females with Turner syndrome and provides practitioners with practical guidelines. Turner syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in females, affecting one in every 2500 live births. Women with Turner syndrome are at an extremely high risk of developing POI and infertility. Although 70-80% of women have no spontaneous pubertal development and 90% have primary amenorrhea, the remainder may have a small number of ovarian follicles at birth or in early childhood. The current challenge is to identify these women as early in life as possible so that they can take advantage of the existing fertility preservation options.
