MORE INFO

WHAT IS TURNER SYNDROME?

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects girls and women with common conditions such as:

Delayed puberty
Heart defects
Puffy hands and feet
Learning difficulties (i.e. math)
Kidney, thyroid, and liver concerns
Hearing loss
Frequent ear infections
Social difficulties

Infertility due to nonfunctional ovaries
Scoliosis
Short stature (under 5 feet)
Many moles
Receding lower jaw
Low-set ears
Triangular face
Webbed neck

Turner syndrome can be diagnosed throughout the lifespan including adulthood with a test called karyotype. Currently, 50% of the girls born with Turner syndrome are not diagnosed until their pre-teen or teen years. These girls and women do suffer from infertility and other medical symptoms that require life-long care. Advances such as growth hormone and estrogen therapy have improved the lives of girls and women with Turner syndrome.
