Less ready for adulthood?-Turner syndrome has an impact on transition readiness.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The diagnostic impact of chromogranin A (CgA) measurement has been studied in various neuroendocrine tumours (NET) such as pheochromocytomas, gastrinomas and neuroblastomas. Clinically nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) are generally diagnosed on tumoural symptoms or hypopituitarism and, except for gona...
