Visual–spatial skills are critical for perception of one’s environment as well as physical coordination and other visuomotor activities such as driving and sports participation. For example, individuals with deficits in skills such as mental rotation and spatial orientation may have difficulty with the sense of direction and navigation. The spatial relationships inherent in math processing may be deficient resulting in difficulties with arithmetic concepts and operations. Visual–spatial skills also play an inherent role in executive function tasks. For example, visualization is a common strategy used during planning and organization as well as memory and learning. Individuals with visual–spatial deficits may struggle with reading and constructing graphs, charts, diagrams, maps, and tables. They may have reduced ability to judge heights and distances and may seem clumsy and uncoordinated. These individuals may struggle with activities such as models or puzzles, playing sports, and certain art projects. They may have difficulties in following a route between two places, and therefore get lost more frequently than their peers.

"Elevated liver function tests (↑LFTs) are frequent in Turner’s Syndrome (TS). The cause and clinical significance are unclear. The aim of a study in 2016 was to analyse the association between ↑LFTs and a comprehensive panel of TS-related conditions, focusing on metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in order to further understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this condition.

This study showed – first, ↑LFTs in TS are common and important to detect given the high prevalence at a young age and possible progression towards advanced fibrosis; secondly, a relationship between ↑LFTs and aortic dilatation was found, suggesting that liver involvement may be associated with a primary vascular process; thirdly, we suggest that HRT can be safely continued in TS women with ↑LFTs.
