I was wondering what are the effects of turner syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic disorder: "turner syndrome is caused by a missing or incomplete x chromosome. People who have turner syndrome develop as females. The genes affected are involved in growth and sexual development, which is why girls with the disorder are shorter than normal and have abnormal sexual characteristics." http://learn.Genetics.Utah.Edu/content/disorders/whataregd/turner/.
