Turner syndrome affects approximately 1 in 2,500 live female births, making it one of the most common chromosomal disorders in females. The condition arises from a complete or partial loss of one of the X chromosomes, leading to various physical and developmental issues. While it predominantly affects females, it can also occur in individuals with atypical chromosomal patterns. The overall prevalence indicates that hundreds of thousands of women and girls worldwide are living with Turner syndrome.

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.
