The human body typically contains 46 chromosomes, which store your genetic material. The X and Y sex chromosomes determine your gender. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Turner syndrome is a genetic condition
caused by an abnormality on one of your sex chromosomes. It is also called
Monosomy X, gonadal dysgenesis , and Bonnevie – Ullrich syndrome. The condition
is found only in females.
Turner syndrome occurs when part or all
of one of your X chromosomes is missing. According to the Turner Syndrome
Society of the United States, this condition affects approximately one out of
2,500 live female births (TSS).
Individuals with Turner syndrome can lead healthy and relatively normal
lives but they typically require some ongoing and consistent medical
supervision to treat and detect complications that might occur.
There is no way to prevent Turner
syndrome, and the cause of the genetic abnormality is unknown.

ReplyDeleteOverall your blog is written very well and has a good amount of information. The only problem I can find is that you have no link to your news story
ReplyDeleteThis is a really interesting topic you have, and you've made everything easy to understand. the way that you've formatted it also helps with that a lot. i know that there isn't that much information on monosomy x, however i think you should have added a bit more information.

ReplyDeleteHi, I see that you described about the Turner syndrome in brief detail and you wrote everything in your own words. While I was reading through your blog, it was very interesting to read and easy to understand! Especially, the picture showed one of the good examples. But next time, I suggest you to have sources that you used. Anyway, very nice Giuseppe :D
ReplyDeleteHey Giuseppe I really love your blog because of the figure you used to refer to your photo of a girl with Monosmy X. I also find your briefly explanation on Monosomy X inspiring and tremendous. Good job.
