This varies a lot. It depends on many factors. TS can lead to different health problems, normally these people are shorter and have problems with the heart, kidneys or thyroid. But it is not always like that. I, for example, have the TS and some slight health problems, but in my everyday life it does not show. I have to take pills every day and every few months I need to be examined completely because of heart and thyroid problems, but I lead a normal life.

Why can't boys get turner syndrome?

In the vast majority of people, they are either male (having one X chromosome and one Y chromosome) or female (having two X chromosomes) in every single cell in their body. In people with Turner's syndrome, however, their cells have only a single X chromosome. For this reason, Turner's syndrome is sometimes referred to as an "X-O" disorder (to differentiate it from the state of being male - XY, or female - XX). Because Turner's syndrome sufferers do not conform to the traditional notions of genetic maleness or femaleness, then, it would be improper to define Turner's as either a male or a female syndrome. Its sufferers are neither. In Addition: There is a form of Turner-like Syndrome which affects a male children; this form is called "Swyer Syndrome." These male children are NOT born with functional gonads (testicles); the gonads are NOT on the outside of the body as normal, they are inside. For all intense purposes, these children appear to be female with abnormally enlarged female genitalia, but this deformity is actually a small penis. So therefore, the sex glands are ambiguous, the penis does NOT appear to be a penis, nor will it ever function normally. So it is usually suggested by their doctors, that these children be raised as "girls." Right or wrong, this is usually done for the child's sake, with the thought that it will make their life's easier in the long run to be raise as a girl, and in many cases it works out.

Some degree of language learning impairment may be present, and neuropsychological testing often reveals deficits in executive functions. In adults, possible characteristics vary widely and include little to no signs of affectedness, a lanky, youthful build and facial appearance, or a rounded body type with some degree of gynecomastia (increased breast tissue).
