What+is+Turner's+Syndrome

//Turner's syndrome is a chromosomal condition that alters development in females. Females with Turner's syndrome can not conceive a child. They are infertile because of the absence of ovarian function. This condition occurs in about 1 in 25,000 female births worldwide, but most women that have babies with turner's will not survive do to miscarriges and stillbirths. Chromosome X is related to this diease. The female has two chromosomes that determine their gender and having Turner's cuases the female not to have two complete pairs of X chromosomes (XX). The most common case is that the female only has one chromosome in her cells or has both but one isn't fully developed. In the girl's body all the other cells and have two X chromosomes and only one could be missing from one cell. This is called mosaicism. One gene that causes this is called SHOX, which is a important for the bone and development and growth process. Missing a gene like this cause the female to appear shorter than normal females. //
