Turner Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects females, resulting from the complete or partial absence of one of the two X chromosomes. This condition can lead to a variety of physical and developmental features, including short stature, delayed puberty, and infertility. Other common characteristics may include heart defects, kidney problems, and certain learning difficulties, particularly in spatial reasoning.
Diagnosis of Turner Syndrome typically occurs through genetic testing, often during childhood or adolescence. While there is no cure, treatment options such as hormone therapy can help manage symptoms and promote growth. Regular medical care is essential to address associated health issues and improve quality of life.
