Body height in Turner's syndrome

Clinical Genetics, 1982
Disease‐specific growth curves for Turner's syndrome were calculated by means of 2nd order homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients, taking different cytogenetical subtypes into account. Comparison of these growth curves between X‐monosomic (n=64) and 46,XX/45,X‐mixoploid (n = 20) patients reveals no differences, in contrast to the

Based on 45 long bones from maximally 14 males and 7 females, Neanderthals' height averages between 164 and 168 ...
