description: Reports from the fifth workshop for investigators carrying out prospective longitudinal studies on children and young adults with sex chromosome anomalies are presented. Part I updates the studies and provides an unbiased summary of the prognosis for a fetus or newborn diagnosed with a sex chromosome anomaly. Part II deals with clinical and therapeutic observations and provides the first critical attempt at evaluating various therapeutic modes which may be useful for patients with the 45,X and 47,XXY karyotypes. There is also critical information concerning patients with Turner and Klinefelter syndromes. The book, the result of more than 20 years of international effort, will be of value to professionals who treat patients with sex chromosome anomalies and their families as well as to those who assist couples in making informed choices about pregnancy.
