Main objective

Scope: Therapy

1. Clarify endocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular, and thromboembolic risk factors in Turner syndrome after a washout period.
2. Compare the effects of oral versus transdermal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in women with Turner syndrome.
3. Examine the long-term effects of ERT via the two routes on endocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular, physiological, and thromboembolic risk endpoints.

  2. Age 18-50 years (Turner syndrome and healthy controls)
  3. Already receiving estrogen treatment (Turner syndrome)
  4. Female (healthy controls)
  5. Previously healthy (healthy controls)
  6. Not receiving any medication (healthy controls)
  7. Not using any form of contraceptive pills (healthy controls)
  8. No mental or psychiatric disorders (healthy controls)

Exclusion criteria 9

  1. Active systemic chronic diseases
  2. Known or suspected breast cancer
  3. Known or suspected estradiol-dependent tumors (endometrial cancer or similar)
  4. Untreated endometrial hyperplasia
  5. Current or previous venous thromboembolism
  6. Acute or previous liver disease where liver enzymes are still elevated by a factor 3 or more

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 9

  1. Body composition: measured by bio impedance
  2. Blood test values: changes in the blood test values from baseline within the areas of metabolism, endocrinology, cardiovascular function, and coagulation
  3. Cardiovascular status: 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and arterial stiffness (measured by SphygmoCor)
  4. Muscle quality: MR scan of both quadriceps measuring muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat content of the muscle. Maximal isometric muscle strength of both quadriceps (functional muscle tests). Muscle quality = maximum quadriceps strength measured in nM/muscle CSA.
  5. Quadriceps strength test: maximal isometric muscle strength of both quadriceps measured simultaneously
  6. Isometric hand strength test: maximal hand strength measured in kilograms
  7. Fitness: maximal oxygen uptake measured by a VO2max test
  8. Bones: bone mineral density as measured by a DEXA scan
  9. Jumping heigth: maximal jumping heigth measured in centimeters

Secondary endpoints 3

  1. Self-reported health-related quality of life and functioning (SF-36)
  2. Self-reported quality of life (WHOQoL-Bref)
  3. Subjective assesment of the medication after 6 months of oral and six months of transdermal treatment
