Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects development in females.

How common is it

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

Symptoms

Kidney problems, high blood pressure, heart problems, overweight, hearing difficulties, diabetes, and thyroid problems, a "webbed" neck, a low hairline at the back of the neck, drooping of the eyelids, abnormal bone development , a larger than usual number of moles on the skin
