Turner Syndrome: Understanding

Turner Syndrome: Overview

Turner syndrome, also referred to as congenital ovarian hypoplasia syndrome, was first described by Henri Turner, an Oklahoma physician in 1938. It is the most common sex chromosomal abnormality found in females. It results when one of the X chromosomes is missing, partially or completely.

Most instances of Turner syndrome are not inherited. When monosomy X is the cause, the chromosomal abnormality is a random event during the formation of reproductive cells in the person’s parent. An error in cell division is called nondisjunction and can result in reproductive cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes. For example, a sex chromosome can become lost from an egg or a sperm cell due to nondisjunction. If an atypical reproductive cell contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, each cell will possess a single X chromosome, and the other sex chromosome will be missing.

Mosaic Turner syndrome is likewise not an inherited condition. It occurs due to a random event during the cell division stage in the early fetal development of the affected individual. As a result, some of a person's cells have the usual two sex chromosomes, while other cells contain only one copy of the X chromosome. Other sex chromosome abnormalities are possible in females with X chromosome mosaicism. Rarely, Turner syndrome can result from a partial deletion of the X chromosome, and this can pass from one generation to the next.

Cardiac abnormalities are frequently associated with Turner syndrome. At the time of diagnosis, the patient should be evaluated by a cardiologist with an EKG to evaluate for prolonged QT interval. Blood pressure should be measured in the upper and lower extremities, and patients should get an echocardiogram or cardiac MRI to look for cardiac anomalies. Regular monitoring of hearing, including serial audiology evaluations, is recommended throughout life, with an audiology evaluation every 3 yrs. in children and every five years in adults.

Turner syndrome does not cause growth hormone deficiency. But, the patients respond well to growth hormone therapy and should be started on treatment with growth hormone once their height falls below 5% for age. If not treated appropriately, the estimates are that the adult height would be 20 cm below the average adult female height. Growth hormone therapy should continue until the patients reach their adult height and no longer have any growth potential. Once the patient is on the growth hormone therapy, it can sometimes expose underlying scoliosis. Hence, the patients should have their spines monitored closely during the treatment. Almost all girls with Turner syndrome need estrogen, even if they have spontaneous puberty, which may persist for some time but is usually followed by primary ovarian insufficiency. Later, cyclic progestins are added to the regimen to induce cyclic uterine bleeding and prevent endometrial hyperplasia. Estrogen therapy should be initiated at around 11 to 12 years of age if gonadotropins are elevated or AMH level is low. The treatment can begin at doses between 1/10 to 1/8 of adult replacement dose and gradually increased every six months to simulate normal pubertal progression until reaching adult dosing.

Turner Syndrome Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Turner Syndrome report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Turner Syndrome Emerging Drugs

LUM201: Lumos Pharma

Lumos Pharma’s drug candidate LUM 201, also known as Ibutamoren, is a small molecule which is to be administered orally, promotes the secretion (secretagogue) of Growth Hormone (GH) from the pituitary gland. LUM-201 acts as an agonist of the GH Secretagogue Receptor to stimulate GH release. LUM-201 has been observed to increase the amplitude of endogenous pulsatile GH secretion in humans, which mimics the natural pattern of GH secretion.It is currently in the Phase I of drug development for Turner Syndrome. The molecule has received the orphan drug status for somatotrophin deficiency. The company is planning to conduct a Phase II trial for Turner syndrome.

Further product details are provided in the report……..
