    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Turner syndrome is usually caused by a missing X chromosome. It affects 1 out of 3,000 live births. It is usually sporadic meaning that it is not inherited from a parent. Rarely, a parent silently carries rearranged chromosomes that can result in Turner syndrome in a daughter; this is the only situation in which Turner syndrome is inherited. There are many manifestations of this syndrome, but the main features are short stature , webbing of the skin of the neck, absent or retarded development of secondary sexual characteristics, absence of menstruation, coarctation (narrowing) of the aorta, and abnormalities of the eyes and bones. The condition is either diagnosed at birth because of the associated anomalies, or at puberty when there is absent or delayed menses and delayed development of normal secondary sexual characteristics.

    Extractions: What is Turner syndrome? Turner syndrome (45,X) is a genetic disorder that occurs only in females and arises from partial or complete absence of the X chromosome. H.H.Turner first described Turner syndrome in 1938 and the chromosomal basis of this syndrome was established in 1959 by Ford. Turner syndrome occurs in 1 in 2500 female births. The physical phenotype of this syndrome includes: gonadal dysgenesis lack of pubertal maturation infertility short stature shield chest webbing of the neck coarctation of the aorta horseshoe kidney The neurocognitive profile of females with Turner syndrome includes: T he psychosocial profile of females with Turner syndrome includes: What causes Turner Syndrome? Turner syndrome is the only sex chromosome disorder in which complete absence of an X chromosome is compatible with life. The loss of one of the sex chromosomes in Turner syndrome probably occurs after the zygote has formed or just after the fusion of the gametes. It has been determined that approximately 50% of cases have a 45,X karyotype with the remainder having mosaic karyotypes. In addition, it has been found that in 70 to 80 % of the cases, the retained X is maternal in origin. Researchers have begun to speculate as to the possibility that genes are present on the X chromosome which are expressed differently depending on the parental origin of the X chromosome. The effects of genomic imprinting can be analyzed from the standpoint of physical and physiologic parameters in females with Turner syndrome.

There are a variety of signs and symptoms that can result, but the most common are short height, lack of developing ovaries, and infertility Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Humans have 46 chromosomes, which contain all of a person’s genes and DNA. Two of these chromosomes, the sex chromosomes, determine a person’s gender. Both of the sex chromosomes in females are called X chromosomes. (This is written as XX.) Males have an X and a Y chromosome (written as XY). The two sex chromosomes help a person develop fertility and the sexual characteristics of their gender. In Turner syndrome, the girl does not have the usual pair of two complete X chromosomes. The most common scenario is that the girl has only one X chromosome in her cells. Some girls with Turner syndrome do have two X chromosomes, but one of the X chromosomes is incomplete. In another scenario, the girl has some cells in her body with two X chromosomes, but other cells have only one.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes-thin strands of DNA-in the nucleus of every cell, which contain genes that determine our hereditary makeup. One pair of chromosomes is the sex chromosomes, designated X and Y. Females normally have two X chromosomes; however, patients with Turner syndrome have only a single X chromosome or one normal and one defective X chromosome. This abnormality can cause medical problems such as a webbed neck, low-set ears, and heart or kidney defects. It can also cause short stature, lack of sexual development and improperly functioning ovaries. Adult women with Turner syndrome have an increased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis. This study will try to identify the genes responsible for the specific medical problems associated with the disorder. Females 7 years of age and older with X chromosome defects may be eligible for this 3- to 5- day inpatient study at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Participants will have a comprehensive physical examination, including (with the patient's permission) photographs of abnormal physical findings to document characteristics of Turner syndrome. Patients will have their body measurements (height, weight, hip and waist) taken and blood drawn for clinical and research purposes. Patients will be given a "metabolic diet," with meals designed to contain specific amounts of salt and carbohydrate to allow accurate measurements of blood pressure and glucose (sugar) metabolism.

It is a chromosomal condition that only affects females. It is one of the most common chromosomal conditions occurring in about 1 out of every 2,500 live female births. Turner syndrome is caused by the complete or partial absence of one of the two X chromosomes normally found in a woman. There are no know reasons for the complete or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes and the condition appears to occur randomly. Turner syndrome is diagnosed using a blood test known as a karyotype. The karyotype blood test analyzes the chromosomal composition of the individual and determines whether the X chromosome is absent. What are the characteristics of someone with Turner syndrome?

    Extractions: Chromosomes are structures in the nucleus of every cell in the body. Chromosomes contain the genetic information necessary to direct the growth and functioning of all the cells and systems of the body. A normal person has a total of 46 chromosomes in each cell, two of which are responsible for determining the sex of that person. Normally, females have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y chromosome. In Turner syndrome, an error very early in development results in an abnormal number and arrangement of chromosomes. Most commonly, a patient with Turner syndrome will be born with 45 chromosomes in each cell rather than 46. The missing chromosome is an X chromosome. About 1 in every 8,000 babies born has Turner syndrome. No cause has been identified for Turner syndrome. At birth, female babies with Turner syndrome are below average in weight and length. They have slightly swollen hands and feet, and sometimes have swelling at the nape of the neck. Girls with Turner syndrome are shorter than normal, and have short, webbed necks with extra, loose skin. The jaw is usually small and the ears are large. An extra fold of skin is often seen on either side of the nose, close to the eye (called an epicanthic fold). The chest is usually quite broad, with increased distance between the nipples.

    Extractions: What is Turner syndrome, and what do I need to know about testing and treatment? Turner syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in females who have only one X chromosome, instead of the usual two. Typical features include short stature (height); webbed neck; underdeveloped breasts; abnormalities of the eyes and bones; and not getting your period (no menstruation). To learn more about genetics and to better understand how genes cause syndromes, see Your Child: Genetic Syndromes If your daughter has the physical features of Turner syndrome, then she should be tested to find out for sure whether she has it. A blood test can be done to check for the absence of an X chromosome. Sometimes she may need to have an ultrasound to check her uterus and ovaries. Sometimes, Turner syndrome is inherited from a parent, so genetic counseling is recommended for families with a daughter who has the condition. There is no cure for Turner syndrome but there are lots of treatments to help your daughter in many ways. Growth hormone is sometimes given to increase the height of a girl with Turner syndrome. Sex hormones can also be given starting at about 13 years of age to promote the development of secondary sexual characteristics (pubic hair and breasts), however all girls with Turner syndrome will still be infertile even after hormone therapy.

    Extractions: Turner syndrome can cause physiologic and psychological problems that can affect normal development and maturation in females, even if it is not usually life-threatening. Effective treatment is available to minimize some of these effects and reduce many of the associated symptoms, if it is started soon enough. It is important to identify those with Turner syndrome early so that treatment can begin and promote normal growth and development as girls enter puberty. What is Turner Syndrome? Turner syndrome occurs in females when one of the X (female) chromosomes is missing or damaged. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX). These chromosomes not only determine the sex of a person but also have other influences. Sexual definition affects physiologic growth and development as well psychological development. The most common features of Turner syndrome are short stature and reduced or absent development of the ovaries. As adults, women with this disorder are typically infertile. Other complications of Turner syndrome include defects of the kidneys and/or heart, thyroid disease, arthritis and skeletal disorders, and development of type 2 diabetes. As children, the onset of puberty is delayed if the disorder has not been identified and treatment begun. Such delays in sexual development may lead to poor social development and low self esteem. In addition, some girls may experience learning difficulties, particularly in the subject of mathematics. Problems such as underactive thyroid glands, abnormal liver function tests, a propensity to ear infections and hearing deficits, can also be seen. Symptoms may vary widely among those affected.

    Extractions: Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder affecting only females, in which the patient has one X chromosome in some or all cells; or has two X chromosomes but one is damaged. Signs of Turner syndrome include short stature, delayed growth of the skeleton, shortened fourth and fifth fingers, broad chest, and sometimes heart abnormalities. Women with Turner syndrome are usually infertile due to ovarian failure. Diagnosis is by blood test (karyotype). Turner syndrome affects approximately 1 out of every 2,500 female live births worldwide. It embraces a broad spectrum of features, from major heart defects to minor cosmetic issues. Some individuals with Turner syndrome may have only a few features, while others may have many. Almost all people with Turner syndrome have short stature and loss of ovarian function, but the severity of these problems varies considerably amongst individuals. General Appearance Individuals with Turner syndrome may have a short neck with a webbed appearance, a low hairline at the back of the neck, and low-set ears. Hands and feet of affected individuals may be swollen or puffy at birth, and often have soft nails that turn upward at the ends when they are older. All these features appear to be due to obstruction of the

    Extractions: Main Diseases and Conditions Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that can cause girls to have short stature , a failure to begin puberty and infertility. Children with Turner syndrome only have one functioning X chromosome (unlike normal females who have two functioning X chromosomes [46, X, X]), and the other one may be absent [45, X] in all cells, or just some cells which is called a mosaic [45, X/46, X, X], or there may be a fragment of the second X chromosome present in some cells. It is not known what causes Turner syndrome and it is not associated with advanced maternal age. Turner syndrome is found in about 1 out of every 2000-3000 live born females.
