    During pregnancy the most common syndrome is the Turner syndrome which is caused when one of the two X chromosomes in females is missing or incomplete. This is a chromosomal condition which affects only females.

    Hi, this chromosomal condition is caused due to the absence or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes which are normally found in women. There have been no reasons known why there is absence of the X chromosomes.

    Hello, the turner syndrome can be diagnosed by a blood test called as karyotype. This blood test give an analysis of the chromosomal composition of the person and also tells you if the X chromosome is absent or present.

    There are various symptoms which can tell if the women has turner syndrome. If the arms of the arms are slightly turned outside at the elbow, or if there is a webbed neck meaning the skin folds in the neck, the hairline is low in the back of the head. These can be the symptoms also if there lack of ovarian development in the women.

    Hello, there is no cure available for Turner syndrome but there are treatments which help in reducing the symptoms. The main two symptoms of Turner syndrome can be treated which are slow development of the ovary and short stature.

    Hi all, it is said by The Food and Drug Administration that the use of growth hormones can be used to treat Turner syndrome. As this hormone helps in enhancing the growth velocity and potential of the final adult height.

    Hi, estrogen is produced by the ovaries which is very important for the maintaining and development of the bone structure and the good tissues. If this hormone is replaced and secondary sexual characteristics are developed it helps to reduce the symptoms.
