Turner

Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females, caused by missing or incomplete X chromosome(s). This can lead to various physical characteristics such as short stature, delayed puberty, infertility, and certain learning difficulties. Some individuals may also experience heart problems, kidney issues, or hearing loss. Turner syndrome is not inherited but occurs as a random genetic change. It can be diagnosed through blood tests and managed with treatments like growth hormones and hormone therapy to help develop typical physical features and health. With proper medical care, many girls and women with Turner syndrome lead healthy, active lives.
