Treatment Options For Turner Syndrome

Turner syndrome is a rare condition that occurs in females as the result of an abnormality in one of the X chromosomes. Symptoms of the disorder generally develop by the age of five and can range from mild to severe. The most common symptoms include being shorter in height than girls of the same age, vision and hearing problems, kidney issues, infertility, and heart defects. Turner syndrome is a genetic disease that cannot be cured, though symptoms can be managed, and many individuals with the syndrome have a life expectancy very close to that of the general population.
