Turner Syndrome

Meaning

Turner Syndrome is a common chromosomal disorder affecting females, genetically characterized by the presence of only one complete X chromosome (45,X), rather than the typical two (46,XX). This genetic anomaly results in a distinct clinical phenotype that typically includes short stature, characteristic physical features, and, most notably, primary ovarian failure. Comprehensive hormonal intervention is essential for managing the long-term health and quality of life for affected individuals.
