    Turner syndrome is caused by the absence of an entire second X chromosome in females, denoted as 45,X. This leads to various health issues including skeletal abnormalities, kidney problems, heart defects, a webbed neck, hypertension, and small breasts. Treatment focuses on growth hormone therapy in childhood to increase adult height, as well as estrogen replacement therapy to promote secondary sexual development and protect bone density.

    abbreviation 46.xx , the lost of chromosome make many problem for
    Woman
    Symptoms skeletal abnormalities,  kidney problems, heart
    defects ,(webbed neck), hypertension , small breast.
    WHAT TURNER SYNDROME CAUSE
    • third disorder: primary hypothyroidism such as hashimotos
    thyroiditis is autoimmune disease make destroyed in gland so we
    have low concentration of T3 +T4 and high TSH from pituitary gland .
    • increase risk of bone fracture because so make body increase
    parathyroid hormones when decrease level of calcium in blood to
    make active of vitamin D 125 in kidney the vitamin D3 increase
    absorption of calcium in kidney to make is function and revers it to
    bone to building it but we don’t have enough active of vitamin D3
    from kidney because have only one kidney this make osteoporosis.
    • no functional ovary : in adult female no secretion or very low
    concentration of sex hormones from ovary such as estrogen +
    progesterone this make increase concentration of FSH + LH from
    pituitary gland the function of estrogen is Ovarian follicle ,make less
    infection of vagina , less mature of uterus all this make no pregnancy
    and many character of female has absent such as very small breast
    and bad mood because estrogen in brain stimulation a chemical
    substance to secretion to make good mood
    • HIGH WEIGHT : because have hypothyroidism.
    • ADHD: this disease make female slow growth of brain , aggressive
    because have low secretions of glucocorticoids from adrenal gland.
    • no menstrual cycle or short time : because when have hypothyroidism
    the TSH +TRH high concentration the hypothalamuas releasing
    hormones increase secretion of prolactin :make negative feedback to
    GNRH
    in skeletal: no secretion enough growth hormones this make female
    with forth toe , ring finger and short woman .
    • DIABETES :Low level of progesterone make less effect and decrease
    secretion of insulin from pancreas make high level of glucose in blood
    • TREATMENT
    • Human growth hormone. If given in early childhood, hormone injections
    can often increase adult height by a few inches.
    • Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT). ERT can help start the secondary
    sexual development that normally begins at puberty (around age 12). This
    includes breast development and the development of wider hips. Health
    care providers may prescribe a combination of estrogen and progesterone
    to girls who haven’t started menstruating by age 15. ERT also provides
    protection against bone loss.
