Can Turner's Syndrome be inherited?
Most cases of Turner syndrome are not inherited. When this condition results from monosomy X, the chromosomal abnormality occurs as a random event during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) in the affected person's parent. An error in cell division called nondisjunction can result in reproductive cells with an abnormal number of chromosomes. For example, an egg or sperm cell may lose a sex chromosome as a result of nondisjunction. If one of these atypical reproductive cells contributes to the genetic makeup of a child, the child will have a single X chromosome in each cell and will be missing the other sex chromosome.
Mosaic Turner syndrome is also not inherited. In an affected individual, it occurs as a random event during cell division in early fetal development. As a result, some of an affected person's cells have the usual two sex chromosomes, and other cells have only one copy of the X chromosome. Other sex chromosome abnormalities are also possible in females with X chromosome mosaicism.
Rarely, Turner syndrome caused by a partial deletion of the X chromosome can be passed from one generation to the next.
There are two celebreties that have Turner's Syndrome

She also won the Best Supporting Actress during the 1984 Oscar Award. It was how she dealt her condition, by overcoming it and making a success of her life instead of letting it affect her.
Melissa or Missy Marlowe is also one of those famous people with turner syndrome. She is a former American Gymnast who competed under the artistic gymnastics. She became part of the United States team that was able to compete in the Pan American Games held in Indianapolis. She also became one of the members selected for the bichampion team. She was able to win and collect her own set of awards including defeating Sabrina Mar. She was always included as a member of the National team when competing in the Olympic Games. After competing in the Olympic Games held in Seoul, South Korea, Marlowe ended up getting the fourth place. The most notable achievement she made is getting the World Champion Gymnast title.
