Has any one heard of Mosaic Turner syndrome? |
Has any one heard of Mosaic Turner syndrome? Your genetic counselor will explain everything. The important thing to know is that most women with Turner Syndrome (like me) live normal lives. The biggest problems associated with TS are with reproductive development and infertility. Since your daughter is diagnosed early (if it turns out to be TS), she will be able to take hormones so that she can develop at roughly the same rate as her peers. She will probably always be small for her age (I am only 5'0" at 24 years old), but growth hormone treatments are available should you choose to go that route. She will also most likely be infertile. But by the time she wants to have children, there will of course be lots of options for her (probably several options that don't exist yet!) Mosaicism is a genetic condition where the cells in the body are not unformly carrying the same genes because they originated from 2 fused cells lines instead of the usual 1 cell. |
