Girls with Turner syndrome (TS) need comprehensive care from experienced experts. That is what they will find at the Turner Syndrome Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). We are one of the country’s top care centers of its kind, treating hundreds of girls with Turner syndrome (TS), from infancy through young adulthood.

The program is designed to meet the specific medical and psychosocial needs of girls with Turner syndrome and their families, providing specialized and seamless patient-centered care.

For families that have received a diagnosis through prenatal testing, we offer consultations in partnership with CHOP's fetal medicine specialists.

Pediatric specialists across every discipline

Our team includes endocrinologists, geneticists, cardiologists, a certified nurse practitioner and a dietician, all who have expertise in Turner syndrome. As part of one of the top-ranked and largest children's hospitals in the United States, CHOP’s Turner Syndrome Program offers direct access to highly qualified pediatric experts across every specialty that your child might need throughout childhood and adolescence.

The TS Program is part of CHOP's Division of Endocrinology and Diabetes, ranked No 1. for pediatric endocrinology care in the country for 2024-2025 by U.S. News & World Report.

Coordinated care

Before your first appointment, our care coordinator will send a detailed itinerary of your child’s tests and evaluations with our specialists, leaving you free to focus on your child. Your care coordinator will help you set up any additional appointments if needed.

Support for the whole family

Our program offers emotional and social support to meet the unique needs of all family members experiencing a Turner syndrome diagnosis. At our annual Spring Fling for Turner Syndrome, family members join us for ongoing education. Girls with TS spend the day meeting other children with the diagnosis while participating in fun and therapeutic activities. All girls with TS are welcome, regardless of whether or not they are cared for at CHOP.

Transition to adult care

At CHOP, we understand that transitioning from a pediatric care provider to an adult setting can be challenging for teens. We work hand-in-hand with Penn Medicine to provide your teen with TS with a seamless transition to adult care. This includes several Penn affiliations, including the Adult Turner Syndrome Program at Penn, Penn Reproductive/Endocrinology, Adult Cardiology and Adult Internal Medicine.

Recognized leaders

The Turner Syndrome Program has been designated a Level 4 Regional Resource Center by the Turner Syndrome Global Alliance. Level 4 Regional Resource Centers are recognized as having the most developed care models across the country.
