with cells from the amniotic fluid while they are in the mother's belly. When they are newborns, the
diagnosis is detected when they begin to have heart problems or when they have some physical
characteristic. Certain girls may be diagnosed during adolescence since their growth rate is slow. The
genetic causes of this syndrome may be the lack of one copy of the X chromosome or there may be
changes in the said chromosome. The clinical picture for women with Turner syndrome is delayed
growth and shorter than normal height, among others. Life expectancy is shorter than that of other
people.
The disease or syndrome that karyotype 2 shows us is Warkany syndrome. The diagnosis of this is
based on karyotype analysis or also on the detection of copy variation. The genetic cause of Warkany
syndrome is postzygotic separation, a mitotic error in the fetus. The clinical characteristic is facial
dysmorphia, deep palmar and plantar folds, and joint, cardiac, skeletal, and urinary anomalies. Some
patients with this syndrome have the absence of serious malformations, the life expectancy of these
people is normal.
