What Are The Causes And Complications Of Turner Syndrome?

Turner syndrome appears to be a condition in which patients have issues with their second X chromosome. The second X chromosome is only found in women. It may have missing pieces or be completely missing in Turner syndrome. Patients may deal with different levels of severity with this condition, depending on what parts of their genes are missing. This may also cause various medical and developmental issues. Patients can be diagnosed at different times, including before birth with prenatal testing, at birth, or during early childhood.

There does not appear to be a cure for Turner syndrome currently.
