Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects development in females.
This condition occurs in about 1 in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is much more common among pregnancies that do not survive to term (miscarriages and stillbirths).
Is it a non-disjunction error?
It has been suggested that the high proportion of paternal errors resulting in Turner syndrome may result from the absence of pairing along most of the X and Y chromosomes during meiosis I in the father, which may make the sex chromosomes susceptible to both non-disjunction and structural errors
