Turner Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder where one or part of the sex chromosomes (X chromosomes) is missing. Turner Syndrome doesn't reduce the life expectancy of a person directly, so their life expectancy is about the same as the average person. However, they are often faced with health concerns such as Heart disease, Diabetes etc.
