There are 3 types of Turner syndrome
Classic Turner syndrome - 45X - second X chromosome missing from all cells.
Mosaic Turner syndrome - 45X/46XX - second X chromosome missing from some cells.
The third type of Turner syndrome is when the second X chromosome is damaged or only partly missing.
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.
