Turner syndrome is a genetic disease that only affects women. Normally, females have two X chromosomes, but with Turner disease one of them is missing completely or partially, or there might be a cell division error that occurs during pregnancy. It can be detected even before birth, in childhood, or, in several cases, even during teenage or early adult years.
Turner syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms, including short height, absent or poor body development during puberty, and even autoimmune diseases and heart problems.
There’s no specific cure for Turner syndrome, but diagnosed women can benefit from certain growth hormonal pills to help them reach a normal height.
