Turner Syndrome
Turner syndrome, a rare disease that only affects females, stems from an abnormality in one of a girl’s X chromosomes, leaving her with only one fully functional X chromosome. As a result, girls with Turner syndrome (also known as Ullrich-Turner syndrome) tend to be sexually underdeveloped and infertile. Other common symptoms of Turner syndrome include a short stature and a webbed neck. About one in 2,500 girls has Turner syndrome.
While symptoms of Turner syndrome may be apparent at birth, the condition often isn't officially diagnosed until puberty. One of the main reasons for delayed diagnosis is the fact that early symptoms, such as short stature, are often dismissed and attributed to delayed growth. Similarly, the sexual underdevelopment associated with Turner syndrome can’t be identified until puberty.
