Only females are affected with Turner syndrome and they have part or all of one X chromosome missing. Depending on how much of a female's X chromosome is missing, the syndrome can either be described as classic Turner syndrome or mosaic Turner syndrome.
Their endocrine system can be affected and they will be shorter than normal. Most girls with Turner syndrome will not produce sex hormones and will not have periods and will be infertile. They may not fully develop breasts.
Other body parts involved are a webbed neck, a broad chest, a low hairline, problems with the teeth, moles, spoon-shaped nails, lazy eye (amblyopia), cataracts, hearing loss, heart murmur, osteoporosis, scoliosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease and to round it off some have behavioral, social and specific learning difficulties.
This does not cover all of it. It seems that just about every body part is affected.

What happens if a female with Turner Syndrome has the X chromosome inactivated?
If a female with Turner Syndrome inactivates the X chromosome that carries the Turner Syndrome genetic material, she may develop a condition called mosaicism. This can result in a less severe presentation of Turner Syndrome symptoms, as some cells in her body will have the typical number of X chromosomes. However, the exact impact can vary widely among individuals.
An individual with Turner syndrome appears male and has 1 Barr body?

What is the prevalence and clinical significance of monosomy X mosaicism in individuals with Turner syndrome?
Monosomy X mosaicism is a rare genetic condition where some cells in the body have only one X chromosome instead of the usual two. In individuals with Turner syndrome, this condition can occur and may have clinical significance. The prevalence of monosomy X mosaicism in Turner syndrome is not well established, but it can impact the severity and symptoms of the syndrome. It may lead to a more variable presentation of Turner syndrome, with some individuals experiencing more severe symptoms than others.
Can boys get turner syndrome?
Most girls are born with two X chromosomes, but girls with Turner syndrome are born with only one X chromosome or they are missing part of one X chromosome. The effects of the condition vary widely among girls with Turner syndrome. It all depends on how many of the body's cells are affected by the changes to the X chromosome.
