Is it possible for boys to get Turner's Syndrome???? |
i am doing research on Turner's Syndrome and was wondering... from what i read i don't think it is possible, but i would like a for sure answer... also what exactly is wrong with people who have Turner's Syndrome??? also if you could tell me any physical differances that you know of... Turner syndrome is caused by a missing X chromosome. it affects females only it when a girl doesnt go thru adolescence properly Turner's Syndrome affects only females. You do not 'get it'. You are born with it. It is a chromosomal abnormality. It is seen in about 1 in 3000 live female births, and is characterized by the absence of one x chromosome, congenital ovarian failure, genital hypoplasia (under developed genitals), cardiovascular abnormalities (heart problems), dwarfism, short metacarpals (fingers), 'shield chest' (chest flattened, not rounded), extosis of tibia (bone growths on lower leg bone), and underdeveloped breasts, uterus and vagina. Spatial disorientation (appear clumsy) and moderate degree of learning disorders are common.Treatment includes genetic counseling, hormone therapy (estrogens, androgens, pituitary growth hormone), and often surgical correction of cardiovascular anomolies, and the webbing of neck skin. Hope that helps! |
