There should be plenty of info on the internet. There are support groups in many cities.
Turner syndrome is caused by the absence of one of the X chromosomes and is only seen in females. Decreased intelligence is common, but certainly not universal. Most have short stature. The ovaries function poorly and the affected person rarely ovulates. There are isolated reports of pregnancy, but I suspect these are via egg donation and intense fertility intervention. Most persons with Turner syndrome take hormones in the teen years and beyond, and for the past decade or so they also take human growth hormone to increase their stature.

definitely, you at the instant are not likely to get various help in this area. you place your question interior the basketball area and not a lot of people would be able to answering it. I advise putting your question in a various classification so as which you will get some actual solutions from those that are definitely surfing that classification.
