The mean age at diagnosis was 18.4 \u00b1 2.8 years. The reasons for consultation were delayed puberty (n = 10) and short stature (n = 1). Nine patients had a short neck, nine had a forearm carrying\u2010angle deformity, eight had a low hairline, and two had a webbed neck. Abdominal ultrasonography identified a horseshoe kidney in two patients and a rudimentary uterus in nine patients. None of the patients displayed cardiac abnormalities. Hypergonadotropic hypogonadism was reported among five patients. Eight patients did not receive hormonal treatment owing to advanced bone age or economic reasons.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Late diagnosis and variable phenotypic expression were key features of Cameroonian patients with Turner syndrome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijgo.2014.11.025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,9]],"date-time":"2015-02-09T22:16:08Z","timestamp":1423520168000},"page":"264-266","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Features of Turner syndrome among a group of Cameroonian patients"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"129","author":[{"given":"Ambroise","family":"Wonkam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra W.","family":"Veigne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Abass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzanne","family":"Ngo Um","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean Jacques N.","family":"Noubiap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Claude","family":"Mbanya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eugene","family":"Sobngwi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/jc.2006-0558"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra030360"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","first-page":"105","article-title":"The incidence of Turner's syndrome in Ibadan, Nigeria","volume":"11","author":"Adeyokunnu A.A.","year":"1982","journal-title":"Afr J Med Med Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MED.0000000000000128"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"120","article-title":"Turner's syndrome in adulthood","volume":"23","author":"Elsheikh M.","year":"2002","journal-title":"Endocr Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/er.2011-1059"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2265.2001.01296.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","unstructured":"Lucaccioni L Wong SC Smyth A Lyall H Dominiczak A Ahmed SF Mason A.
