About Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal condition that exclusively affects women. It affects physical development and fertility.
What is it?
Turner Syndrome occurs when one of the two X chromosomes is partially or completely missing. This affects growth, the function of the ovaries and other aspects of physical development.
Turner Syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 2,000 girls. Many women lead a full and healthy life, but may experience growth problems, infertility and heart or kidney complaints.
