What causes turner syndrome?
Nothing 'causes' Turner Syndrome it is simply random geneticsGenetic mosaicism is most often implicated alongside nondidjunction and partial monosomy
Are women who have turner's syndrome sterile?
Yes, women with Turner syndrome are typically infertile due to ovarian failure. This condition is characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the ovaries, leading to a lack of mature eggs necessary for reproduction.
What group is most affected by empty nest syndrome?
which of the following groups is most affected by empty nest syndrome?
Turner's syndrome describe the genetic makeup of someone with this disorder?
Turner syndrome is characterized by the absence of all or part of one of the X chromosomes in females, leading to short stature and various medical issues. Most individuals with Turner syndrome have a karyotype of 45,X, meaning they have only one X chromosome.
Can boys get turner syndrome?
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.
What age group is most affected by Down syndrome?
No age group is affected; Down syndrome is a chromosome condition that is with you at birth.
What body parts does Turner Syndrome affect?
Only females are affected with Turner syndrome and they have part or all of one X chromosome missing. Depending on how much of a female's X chromosome is missing, the syndrome can either be described as classic Turner syndrome or mosaic Turner syndrome.Their endocrine system can be affected and they will be shorter than normal. Most girls with Turner syndrome will not produce sex hormones and will not have periods and will be infertile. They may not fully develop breasts.Other body parts involved are a webbed neck, a broad chest, a low hairline, problems with the teeth, moles, spoon-shaped nails, lazy eye (amblyopia), cataracts, hearing loss, heart murmur, osteoporosis, scoliosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease and to round it off some have behavioral, social and specific learning difficulties.This does not cover all of it. It seems that just about every body part is affected.

Do women with Turner syndrome look like normal females?
Turner Syndrome occurs when a female has only one X chromosome. One of the first signs of Turner is short stature which becomes apparent at about age 5. Most Turner Syndrome women do not go through puberty unless given hormone therapy. They can have obvious skeletal deformities, a lower than normal hairline on the back of their necks, swelling of the hands and feet and additional folds on their necks.
What happens if nondisjunction occurs during meiosos?
If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis, it can result in the production of gametes with an abnormal number of chromosomes. When these gametes are involved in fertilization, it can lead to chromosomal disorders in the offspring, such as Down syndrome or Turner syndrome.
What is the life quality of someone with turner syndrome?
Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where one or part of the sex chromosomes (X chromosomes) is missing. Turner Syndrome doesn't reduce the life expectancy of a person directly, so their life expectancy is about the same as the average person. However, they are often faced with health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes etc.
