Turner's Syndrome: Overview
Turner's Syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality in girls and women. It occurs in 1 out of every 2,500 births and affects nearly 60,000 American women, making it one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities. Turner's Syndrome occurs when one of the two female X chromosomes is missing or only partially developed. Researchers have been unable to identify what causes the syndrome.
Individuals with Turner's Syndrome may exhibit some of the following characteristics: webbed neck, low hairline, droopy eyelids, curvature of the spine, short fingers and short stature. Additionally, ovaries and other female sexual organs may not fully develop.
