Overview

Historical Perspective

The syndrome is named after Henry Turner, an Oklahoma endocrinologist, who described it in 1938.[1] In Europe, it is often called Ullrich-Turner syndrome or even Bonnevie-Ulrich-Turner syndrome to acknowledge that earlier cases had also been described by European doctors.

The first published report of a female with a 45,X karyotype was in 1959 by Dr. Charles Ford and colleagues in Harwell, Oxfordshire and Guy's Hospital in London.[2] It was found in a 14-year-old girl with signs of Turner syndrome.
