PURPOSE: to examine the association between cytogenetic characteristics and clinical and epidemiological changes in @entity1 with @entity2689 ( @entity2689 ). METHODS: Forty-two @entity1 were included. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire in interviews conducted with the responsible @entity1 and, when possible, with the @entity1 . A detailed physical examination was performed. The association between karyotype, stigmata and clinical disorders were examined using the   2 test. RESULTS: Sixty-four percent of @entity2689 @entity1 were 45,X; 26,2% 45,X/46,X;7% 45,X/46Xi(Xq), and 2,3% 45,X/46,X,Del(Xq). Regardless of the karyotype, all @entity1 had @entity851 . Low hair implantation was more frequent in @entity1 with 45,X (p=0.03). @entity65 (45%), @entity2346 (43%), @entity1374 (33%) and @entity101 (26.6%) were the most frequent clinical disorders, but without correlation with the karyotype. Anthropometric measurements revealed a positive linear correlation of waist and hip circumference with age (r=0.9, p=0.01). Thirty-one @entity1 (74%) were using or had previously used growth hormone (43%), sex @entity230 (30%), @entity1955 (11.9%) or @entity7786 (9.5%). Comparison between gestational age at birth and learning difficulties showed a prevalence ratio of 1.71 (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Low hair implantation is the most prevalent stigma in @entity1 with a 45,X karyotype and the most common clinical changes were cardiovascular problems, @entity2346 , @entity1374 and @entity101 ; however, they did not show any correlation with the karyotype.
