Heart problems are more common in women with Turner syndrome, although I do not know if I would say they are the norm.
In Turner syndrome, growth plates may close earlier than in typical development, usually around mid to late teens. This can result in shorter stature and differences in bone development compared to individuals without Turner syndrome. Regular monitoring and hormone therapy can help manage these differences.
No, individuals with Turner syndrome typically have a karyotype of 45X. If a girl has a karyotype of 46XX, she would not be diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
A severe case of Turner syndrome would be if someone who has many of the characteristics associated with it, especially if these characteristics were the possible problems with the heart, kidney or thyroid.
A karyotype can detect Turner syndrome by revealing a single X chromosome in females (45,X). This genetic condition is characterized by the absence of one X chromosome, which is visible on a karyotype analysis.
One of the two X chromosomes.
45. 22 pairs plus one chromosome; the one X Turner's syndrome women usually posses.
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.
A PET scan would be most useful for detecting brain areas that are most active as a person performs mathematical calculations.
Trisomy means having three copies of a chromosomes. Turner's syndrome is NOT an example of trisomy. Someone with Turner's syndrome has only one X chromosome. Down's syndrome IS an example of trisomy. Someone with Down's syndrome has 3 copies of chromosome 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is a tricky one. On one hand, it would be considered trisomy because they have 3 sex chromosomes. However, they are not all the SAME sex chromosomes. Someone with Klinefelter's has 2 X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
Juvenile arthritis, an autoimmune condition, has been recently (1998) associated with Turner syndrome. The prevalence seems to be at least six times greater than would be expected if the two conditions were only randomly associated
