This is not a good question. The Turners Syndrome only occurs in women, and it is not inherited, because these women cannot have their own children. No causes have been discovered yet.

As a 19yr old female with Turner's Syndrome (diagnosed at 8yrs old), have never had any problems in school. There is usually no mental effect, however girls with turners may have problems with spatial problems and possibly math. However, I am in my second year of university, and have received an A in Linear Algebra, and have never had special treatment due to turners syndrome.
