TURNER SYNDROME Brian K. Colleen H.

HOW DOES SOMEONE GET TURNER SYNDROME?  Only in females  Not inherited (just by chance)  The X chromosome is a much longer DNA molecule and contains most of the genes that are needed for cells to work.  Normally you would find one X chromosome, not a damaged one. When seen with only one X it is caused by the parents reproductive cell formation.

 There is no second X chromosome, so this person would have Turner syndrome.  All of the other chromosomes are intact, just the last pair determining the gender is either missing or damaged.

BACKGROUND:  In  A man named Henry Turner found that seven of his patients were suffering from dwarfism and had no sexual development.  All of these patients were between 15 and 23 years of age, so they should have had some sexual development.  He tried to treat them, but it was ineffective.  Ever since Turner tried to treat this, many more studies have broadened our knowledge with even more studies still going on.

SYMPTOMS/TREATMENT  Symptoms found in infants  Swollen hands and feet  Wide and webbed neck  Symptoms found in older females  Drooping eyelids  Dry eyes  Infertility  Short height  Treatment: An option is to take a growth hormone to make them taller.

INTERESTING INFO  Linda Hunt, plays “Henrietta Lang” on NCIS: Los Angeles.  Chances of getting Turner Syndrome are 1 to 2,500.
