Depending on the type of Turner syndrome a person has, their karyotype is either:
45X - classic Turner syndrome - second X chromosome missing from all cells
45X/46XX - Mosaic Turner syndrome - second X chromosome missing from some cells.
There is another type of Turner syndrome, but it has a more complicated karyotype and I am not sure what the karyotype is off the top of my head.

No, only the gametes would be indicative of sterility. It is possible that the individual (though incredibly rare) to have "chimera" syndrome, where two non-identical twins merge to form one fetus. Turner's Syndrome is the absence of the male sex chromosome BTW. That chromosome carries little genetic information, and is possible during mitosis to "loose" it, but still create a mostly viable cell.
