Abstract

Body proportion was studied in Turner's syndrome by measurement of standing an sitting heights in relation to chronological and bone age. The mean standard deviation score for standing height was -3.8. Disproportionate growth of the legs was not a major determinant of short stature, either before or after oestrogen replacement.
