Turner's Syndrome
Turner syndrome (TS) also known as Ullrich–Turner syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis, and 45,X, is a condition in which a female is partly or completely missing an X chromosome.
In 1938, Henry Turner (who also named the disease)first described Turner syndrome, which is one of the most common chromosomal abnormalities.[1] More than 95% of adult women with Turner syndrome exhibit short stature and infertility.
The first published report of a female with a 45,X karyotype was in 1959 by Dr. Charles Ford and colleagues in Harwell, Oxfordshire and Guy's Hospital in London.[44] It was found in a 14-year-old girl with signs of Turner syndrome.
