Turner Syndrome is characterized by the presence of a single X chromosome in females, typically denoted as 45,X. The possible parental genotypes can vary, but the mother usually has a normal genotype (46,XX), while the father can have a normal genotype (46,XY) or may not contribute to the X chromosome due to various chromosomal abnormalities. In some cases, the father's genotype may also be normal, as Turner Syndrome can arise from random events during cell division, such as nondisjunction or deletions in the X chromosome.
