How long will someone with Turner syndrome live?

The prognosis, or outlook, for women with Turner syndrome (TS) is usually good. Life expectancy for Turner syndrome might be slightly shorter, but by testing for and treating the conditions that come with TS, women with TS can expect to live essentially normal lives.

Can Turner syndrome be misdiagnosed?

The discrepancies between the blood and skin karyotypes found in our patients mean that previous cases of Turner's syndrome have been undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. We suggest that in some cases of Turner's syndrome the abnormal cell lines die out in the bone marrow, thereby leaving the 46, XX cell line.

Can a girl with Turner syndrome live a relatively normal life and what is her life expectancy?

What is the long-term outlook for people with Turner syndrome? The long-term outlook ( prognosis ) for people with Turner syndrome is typically good. Life expectancy is slightly shorter than average but may be improved by addressing and treating associated chronic illnesses, such as obesity and hypertension .

Why does Turner syndrome only affect females?

The condition only occurs in females. Most commonly, a female with Turner syndrome has only 1 X chromosome. Others may have 2 X chromosomes, but one of them is incomplete. Sometimes, a female has some cells with 2 X chromosomes, but other cells have only 1.

How early can Turner syndrome be detected?

Turner syndrome is usually identified during childhood or at puberty. However, it can sometimes be diagnosed before a baby is born using a test called amniocentesis.

How common is Turner syndrome in pregnancy?

While Turner syndrome is not common (about 1 in 2500 live female births), approximately 1 to 2% of all embryos have Turner syndrome - but 99% of these miscarry, usually during the first trimester. Turner syndrome may cause up to 10% of all first trimester miscarriages.
