Therefore, there is a total of 45 chromosomes in each cell of the body, rather than 46. For example, if a baby is born with only one X sex chromosome, rather than the usual pair (either two X's or one X and one Y sex chromosome), the baby would be said to have "monosomy X." Monosomy X is also known as Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder seen in girls that causes them to be shorter than others and to not mature sexually as they grow into adulthood. The severity of these problems varies among affected individuals. Other health problems may also be present involving the heart or renal system (i.e., kidneys). Many problems affecting girls with Turner syndrome can be managed or corrected with appropriate medical treatment. Turner syndrome occurs in one in 2,500 females born.

Témoignages Qu’est-ce que le syndrome de Turner? En 1938, le Dr. Henry Turner, qui a donné son nom à l’affection, a été le premier à identifier ses caractéristiques et à leurs réunir en un syndrome commun. Ce n’est qu’en 1957 que le Dr. C.E. Ford a découvert la base chromosomique de l’affection et l’a identifiée comme une dégénérescence ovarienne chromosomique Le Syndrome de Turner est une affection qui atteint une femme sur 2500. Il en résulte une petite taille (la taille adulte est d’environ 1m43), la nécessité de prendre des hormones pour développer les caractères sexuels secondaires (seins, règles, pilosité axillaire et pubienne) et la stérilité. Il y a par ailleurs une large gamme d’autres problèmes associés au syndrome.

    Many girls may have distinctive characteristics, while some girls may show few. turner s syndrome occurs in 1 in 3,000 live female births.  
    http://www.magicfoundation.org/divisions/ts.htm
    
    Extractions: Short stature is almost a consistent finding in Turner's Syndrome, the cause of which is multifactorial, including intrauterine growth retardation, gradual decline in height velocity in childhood, absence of pubertal growth spurt and to end organ resistance resulting from skeletal dysplasia. Patients with Turner's Syndrome may have abnormal body proportions characterized by markedly shortened lower extremities. The ultimate height range is between 55 to 58 inches. Familial height may play a role in determining the ultimate height in girls with Turner's Syndrome

    Extractions: Women with Turner's Syndrome lack one or part of one of the so-called X chromosomes, i.e. sex-chromosomes, that carry genes for conditions relating to the development of ovaries, sex-hormone production, and physical development in general. This relationship leads to faulty development of the ovaries and sex-hormone production, and due to this these women usually cannot get pregnant. Menstruation usually also fails to come, and usually they do not have normal development of breasts and pubic hair. Estrogen treatment should be given from the age of about 12, starting with very small doses. A booklet about estrogen treatment of girls and adult women with Turner's Syndrome can be read or downloaded As there are height determination genes in the X chromosomes, the lacking X chromosome leads to decreased growth and final height. The average height of Turner women is 147 cms, varying between 135 and 163 cms. This is 20 cms below the height of women with normal chromosomes. The reduced height is a handicap, but growth velocity and final height can be increased with growth hormone treatment from the age of 7. Approximately 40 % of the Turner girls have a so-called bed-neck, and in a number of cases it may be necessary to do surgery for this. 10 % have a stricture of the main artery, and approximately 12 % have other less serious heart-anomalies. With strictures of the main artery surgery is often necessary, but this is done with good results.

    Extractions: Genetics Index Glossary X chromosome monosomy has been described in many species, including humans mice and horses . It is often called Turner's syndrome, or described pathologically as gonadal dysgenesis. Individuals with this disorder have a female phenotype, but invariably have abnormalities in reproductive function. Turner's syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality of human females. Its incidence in newborns is approximately 1 in 2,500. However, roughly 10% of spontaneously aborted fetuses have this disorder and the incidence has been estimated as 0.8% in zygotes, making it possibly the most common chromosomal disorder in man. It thus appears that only about 1% of human 45,X xygotes survive to term, and those individuals typically have a rather characteristic set of somatic abnormalities. In roughly two-thirds of cases, the single X chromosome is of maternal origin. Both the embryonic lethality and Turner's phenotype are thought to be due to haploinsufficiency - monosomy of genes common to both the X and Y chromosomes. These genes are among those on the X chromosome that escape X-inactivation and hence, would be expected to be expressed in normal females from both X chromosomes. Interestingly, at least two X-linked genes known to not undergo inactivation in man do undergo inactivation in mice - apparently, a haploid dose of these gene products is sufficient for normality in mice (see below).

    Extractions: In Turners syndrome, one of the X-chromosomes is missing or misshapen in most of the cells in the body. This is due to a biological accident, the reason for which is usually not found. THUS, NEITHER PARENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND CAN DO NOTHING TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. Q.3 How does a child with Turners syndrome present? A.5 Since, girls with Turners syndrome have undeveloped ovaries; they are likely to be infertile, although there are rare cases of women with Turners syndrome having children. However, the uterus (womb) and vagina are normal, hence, their sexual function is unaffected. In vitro fertilization and embryo transplants offer the opportunity to carry a child through pregnancy and giving birth.

     Extractions: (Absent and Infrequent periods). Q 6. 13 What is Turner’s syndrome? There are normally 23 pairs of chromosomes ( ). Girls have two X chromosomes and there is one X and one Y chromosome in boys. Women with Turner’s syndrome have only one sex chromosome – X0 rather than XX. They are born without functional ovaries and they tend to be of short stature and have web-shaped necks. The endocrine picture is usually typical of the menopause so hormone replacement therapy is indicated probably from the mid-teens. Pregnancy can only occur using donated eggs and in vitro fertilisation (IVF Sometimes, notably when only some cells have one chromosome only and others are normal, there may be periods although premature ovarian failure is likely. Spontaneous pregnancy is rare. Q 6. 1 What is amenorrhoea? Q 6. 2 What is oligomenorrhoea? Q 6. 3 What are true and false amenorrhoea?
