What is Turner Syndrome?

Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder

that affects females, characterized by the
partial or complete absence of one of the
X chromosomes (monosomy X). Typically,
females have two X chromosomes (XX),
but individuals with Turner syndrome
often have only one X chromosome (X0).
What happens when a person
has turner syndrome?
Individuals with Turner syndrome
experience a genetic condition
characterized by the partial or complete
absence of one X chromosome. This can
result in short stature, a and kidney
abnormalities. webbed neck appearance,
reproductive challenges, delayed
puberty, and an increased risk of cardiac
What is affected chromosomes?

In Turner syndrome, the affected chromosomes are

the sex chromosomes, specifically the X
chromosomes. Typically, females have two X
chromosomes (XX), but individuals with Tuner
syndrome experience a chromosomal abnormality
where one of the X chromosome is either partially
or completely missing. This result in a monosomy X
condition, often denoted as 45 X.
