Inherited Turner syndrome: In rare cases, babies may have inherited TS, meaning their parent (or parents) were born with it and passed it on.It happens randomly during cell division early in pregnancy. Some of the baby’s cells have a pair of X chromosomes, while other cells only have one. Mosaic Turner syndrome: Also called 45,X mosaicism, this type makes up about 30% of Turner syndrome cases.After fertilization, the baby’s cells also contain this defect. It comes from the mother’s egg or the father’s sperm randomly forming without an X chromosome. About 45% of people with TS have this type.

Monosomy X: Each cell has only one X chromosome instead of two.The type of Turner syndrome (TS) a person has depends on the problem with the X chromosome: In Turner syndrome, the chromosome change happens randomly before birth. An inherited genetic condition means that a parent (or both parents) passed down a mutated, or changed, gene. Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder, but it’s usually not inherited, except in rare cases. While TS can somewhat shorten life expectancy, screening for and treating known related conditions helps protect health. It usually doesn’t affect intelligence but can lead to developmental delays especially with calculations and memory. Turner syndrome often causes short stature, typically noticeable by age 5. Turner Syndrome occurs when one of the X chromosomes is missing, either partially or completely. If you're a male, you are born with one X and one Y chromosome. If you're female, you were born with two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome is a congenital condition, meaning it's something a person is born with. We get our DNA from our parents and it is the DNA that contains the specific instructions that make each living creature unique! More specifically, it’s a problem with one of the two X chromosomes - the thread-like structures inside cells that are made of DNA. It is the most common sex chromosomal abnormality affecting girls and women. Turner syndrome (TS), sometimes referred to as congenital ovarian hypoplasia syndrome, is a genetic disorder.
