Explanation
Turner syndrome, also known as 45,X or monosomy X, is a genetic disorder that affects females, resulting from a missing or incomplete X chromosome. Typical characteristics include short stature, ovarian insufficiency leading to infertility, and various physical abnormalities such as webbed neck, low hairline at the back of the neck, and lymphedema (swelling of the hands and feet). Other possible features include heart defects, kidney problems, and learning disabilities. Hormone therapy and other treatments can help manage some symptoms of Turner syndrome.
