KidsHealth Teens Turner syndrome (TS) is a medical problem that affects about one in every 2,500 girls. Although researchers don't know exactly what causes Turner syndrome, they do know that it's the result of a problem with a girl's chromosomes (pronounced: krow -muh-soamz). 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. Girls with Turner syndrome are usually short in height. Girls with Turner syndrome who aren't treated reach an average height of about 4 feet 7 inches (1.4 meters). The good news is that when Turner syndrome is diagnosed while a girl is still growing, she can be treated with hormones to help her grow taller. In addition to growth problems, Turner syndrome prevents the ovaries from developing properly, which affects a girl's sexual development. Because the ovaries are responsible for making the hormones that control breast growth and menstruation, most girls with Turner syndrome will not go through all of the changes associated with puberty unless they get treatment for the condition. Nearly all girls with Turner syndrome will be infertile, or unable to become pregnant on their own.

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Turner syndrome is a medical disorder that affects about one in every 2,500 girls. Dr. Henry Turner, an endocrinologist, first described the condition in 1938, when he observed a set of common physical features in some of his female patients. It wasn't until 1960 that a chromosomal abnormality associated with the condition was actually described. What Is Turner Syndrome? Turner syndrome results from a chromosomal abnormality in which a female infant is born with only one X chromosome (instead of the usual two) or is missing part of one X chromosome. In most cases, untreated females with this disorder are typically short in stature (average final adult height is 4 feet 7 inches [140 centimeters]) and may have a variety of associated physical features and medical problems. Because females with Turner syndrome (TS) don't have proper ovarian development, they usually don't develop all of the secondary sexual characteristics expected during adolescence and are infertile as adults. However, advances in medical technology, including hormonal therapy and in vitro fertilization, can help women with this condition. Other health problems that may occur with Turner syndrome include kidney and heart abnormalities, high blood pressure

Note: The hardcopy of the booklet contains additional diagrams and photos. Turner Syndrome INTRODUCTION There are many possible reasons why a child may grow slowly, including: hereditary factors (short parents), diseases affecting the kidneys; heart, lungs or intestines; hormone imbalances; severe stress or emotional deprivation; infections in the womb before birth; bone diseases; and genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. The purpose of this booklet is to examine one of the common genetic disorders associated with short stature. In 1938, Dr. Henry Turner recognized a pattern of short stature and incomplete sexual maturation in otherwise normal females. The common name for this condition is Turner syndrome, after Dr. Turner. A syndrome is a set of features often found in association with each other and believed to stem from the same cause. Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that results from an abnormality of a chromosome. Chromosomes are thin strands of material found in the nucleus of each cell. They contain the genes that determine each person's characteristics. Every individual has 22 pairs of chromosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes (called X and Y). The sex chromosomes determine whether an individual is male or female; they influence height as well as development of sexual organs. A female ordinarily has 2 X chromosomes, while a male has one X and one Y chromosome.

Treatment for Meconium Aspiration Syndrome Questioned Research Provides Hope for Turner Girls Turner Syndrome is one of the few genetic diseases that affects women only. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one set from each parent. One of these pairs determines whether you are male (XY) or female (XX). Turner's is the result of a missing or defective X-chromosome. Because a Y-chromosome cannot function on its own, male embryos missing the X, don't survive. The X-chromosome can survive on it's own, however, and the result is a girl with Turner Syndrome. » Current Clinical Trial Listings: Displaying: Defining the Optimal Hormonal Replacement Therapy in Turner Syndrome Turner Syndrome A Study to Evaluate Subjects with Turner Syndrome Treated with Growth Hormone Turner Syndrome Turner Syndrome: Genotype and Phenotype Turner's Syndrome Study to Identify Markers of Insulin Resistance During Growth Hormone Treatment for Short Stature Turner Syndrome; Idiopathic Short Stature

Turner syndrome Turner syndrome is a human genetic abnormality , caused by a nondisjunction in the sex chromosomes that occurs in females (1 out of every 2,500 births). Instead of the normal XX sex chromosomes, only one X chromosome is present and fully functional; this is called 45,X or X0. In Turner syndrome, female sexual characteristics are present but underdeveloped. Common symptoms of Turner syndrome include: Short stature Lymphoedema (swelling) of the hands and feet Broad chest and widely-spaced nipples Low hairline Low-set ears Reproductive sterility Other symptoms include a small lower jaw, cubitus valgus (turned-out elbows), a webbed neck , and soft, upturned nails. Less common are pigmented moles , hearing loss, and a high-arch palate. Turner syndrome manifests itself differently in different people, and no two women need share the same symptoms. Turner syndrome is caused by the loss of genetic material from one of the sex chromosomes. In Turner syndrome, the embryo has only one functioning sex chromosome. This chromosome is always an X chromosome, as an embryo with only a Y chromosome is incapable of survival. The remaining X chromosome is either absent or damaged.

Other features, such as webbed neck, arms that turn out slightly at the elbow, and a low hairline in the back of the head are sometimes seen. Women and girls with Turner Syndrome have only one X chromosome . This is an example of monosomy See the box below to learn more about how the gender of an individual is determined. Where does the single X chromosome come from? In 75 to 80 percent of cases, the single X chromosome comes from the mother's egg because the father's sperm that fertilizes the egg is missing a sex chromosome. How do chromosomes determine the gender of an individual? It took scientists a long time to work out the puzzle of how sex chromosomes determine an individual's gender. Here's the evidence: X + X = FEMALE Y + X = MALE X + = FEMALE (Turner Syndrome) Y + X + X = MALE (Klinefelter Syndrome) What's the key feature? What chromosomes do the males have that the females don't have?
