No. The only thing close to gene therapy offered for TS is growth hormone replacement therapy to help the women affected by it grow a bit taller. It is not a gene problem, more of a misalignment of chromosomes. It is X0 or X with part of another X that is missing part of it's "X".

Hope that helps a bit.

No gene therapy, but I've read that you can be treated in order to have children.
