Turners syndrome is maximally associated with
Turner syndrome (TS or monosomy X) is a genetic disorder that occurs in girls. It causes many traits and problems. Girls with TS are shoer than most girls. They don't go through normal pubey as they grow into adulthood. They may also have other health problems such as hea or kidney problems. The seriousness of these problems varies from girl to girl. Many of the health problems affecting girls with Turner syndrome can be managed or fixed with treatment. Turner syndrome is rare. It occurs in about 1 in 2,000 to 2,500 girl babies. There are 2 types of Turner syndrome: monosomy X TS and mosaic TS. About half of all girls with Turner syndrome have a monosomy disorder. Monosomy means that a person is missing one chromosome in the pair. Instead of 46 chromosomes, the person has only 45 chromosomes. This means a girl with TS has only one X chromosome in her 23rd pair. Sometimes an error occurs when an egg or sperm cell is forming. This causes it to have a missing sex chromosome. But it is often an error that happened by chance when the father&;s sperm cell was forming. The missing sex chromosome error can occur in either the mother&;s egg cell or the father&;s sperm cell. Girls with TS often have: Puffy hands and feet at bih Wide neck with folds of skin down the sides of neck (webbed neck) Sho height A low hairline at the back of the neck Feeding problems as a baby Small differences in the shape and position of the ears Broad chest with widely spaced nipples More small brown moles (nevi) on the skin than normal Deep-set nails Small jaw Narrow top of the inside of the mouth Skeletal problems Eye problems requiring glasses Reference: GHAI Essential pediatrics, 8th edition
