Best Answer

Most girls are born with two X chromosomes, but girls with Turner syndrome are born with only one X chromosome or they are missing part of one X chromosome. The effects of the condition vary widely among girls with Turner syndrome. It all depends on how many of the body's cells are affected by the changes to the X chromosome.

No, Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that only affects females, usually resulting in short stature and infertility. It is caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. Boys are typically born with one X and one Y chromosome, so they cannot have Turner syndrome.
