Turner综合征患者的听力学特点分析

Audiologic analysis of patients with Turner syndrome

Turner综合征(Turner syndrome,TS)由X染色体异常所导致。其临床特点主要不仅是由于卵巢发育异常和雌激素分泌减少或缺如导致的不孕不育、身材矮小,而且常常存在听力异常。在不同基因型的患者中听力损失形式差异有统计学意义。本文就Turner综合征患者的耳部和听力学特点及相关因素进行综述。

Tuner syndrome（ TS） is one of the most frequently encountered sex chromosomal abnormalities. The features of the syndrome include infertility due to lack of ovaries and low or absent estrogen production,short stature and hearing problems. The association between auditory phenotype and karyotype remains inconsistent among TS patients. The purpose of the present study is to review the otologic and audiologic features among TS patients and to identify probable associated causative factors for hearing loss.
