Turner Syndrome is a [[Monosomic|monosomic]] condition in which only one X chromosome is present (XO). Instead of having a set of 44 autosomes + 1 pair of sex chromosomes (either XX or XY), the person has only 44 autosomes + 1 X chromosomes. It happens in about 1 in 5000 female births. The affected females are of a characteristic [[Phenotype|phenotype]] e.g sterile, have a short height, low hairline, small finger nails, poor breasts development with the nipples spread a distance apart. <references />
