HR Turner

HR Turner syndrome is a genetic condition where a person is born with only one complete X chromosome instead of two sex chromosomes (XX or XY). This leads to a variety of physical and developmental differences, such as short stature, unique facial features, and possible heart or kidney issues. It can also affect fertility and learning abilities. The name comes from the name of the doctor who first described the condition. While it’s a lifelong condition, many individuals benefit from medical treatments, such as growth hormone therapy or hormone replacement, and support to manage associated health and developmental challenges.
