symptoms of turner syndrome

Turner syndrome is a disease that develops due to abnormalities in a chromosome during cell division.

Further Explanation:

Chromosome abnormalities can occur due to a defect in the sequence of the chromosome. These problems give physical abnormalities or symptoms in an individual. Chromosome abnormalities are of two types named as structural abnormalities and numerical abnormalities. Turner syndrome is an example of a chromosomal anomaly in which one X chromosome is missing to the normal chromosomal constitution. This anomaly is only affecting females. In a normal female, two X chromosomes are present. The major sign and symptoms of turner syndrome are:
