The purpose of this book is to provide a resource for providers who care for girls and women with Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome occurs in 1:18002000 females, yet many providers may not have a lot of experience caring for a female with Turner syndrome. Patients with Turner syndrome have many of the same health issues as other females, but some health issues are at a higher frequency that necessitates more frequent and earlier screening.

Many contributors to this work are experts in the care of females with Turner syndrome, while others are experts in their own field of medicine who can apply this expertise to the care of individuals with Turner syndrome. They all have worked on this project as a labor of love and for the benefit of the girl or woman with Turner syndrome. I wish to thank each of them for their significant contributions to this book.

The chapters in the book are organized by subspecialty and/or major health issue, with the goal to provide in-depth coverage of the health issues faced by those with Turner syndrome.
