Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,XO, [note 1] is a chromosomal disorder in which cells have only one X chromosome or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome.
It is a feature of Turner syndrome [1] (only found in girls) and Noonan syndrome, [2] as well as the rarer Klippel–Feil syndrome, [3] or Diamond–Blackfan anemia. [ 4 ] References
Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) is a form of congenital muscular dystrophy.There are two forms: UCMD1 and UCMD2. [4]UCMD1 is associated with variants of type VI collagen, while UCMD2 is associated with variants of type XII collagen.
Turner syndrome, also known as 45,X or 45,X0, is a chromosomal abnormality characterised by a partial or completely missing second X chromosome, [4] [24] [25] giving a chromosomal count of 45, instead of the typical count of 46 chromosomes.
Turner syndrome is a condition in females in which there is partial or complete loss of one X chromosome. This causes symptoms such as growth and sexual development problems. In 15% of Turner syndrome patients, the structural abnormality is isochromosome X, which is composed of two copies of the q arm (i(Xq)).
This includes patients with Turner Syndrome (45,X or 45,X0) and Klinefelter Syndrome (47,XXY) even though they do not generally present with atypical genitals. XX, Sex reversal : consist of two groups of patients with male phenotypes, the first with translocated Sex-determining region Y protein (SRY) and the second with no SRY gene.
The first described case of pure gonadal dysgenesis was in 1960, in a patient with presumed Turner syndrome but without the expected stigmata. [50] In 1951, Perrault, Klotz, and Housset reported the association of gonadal dysgenesis and deafness in two sisters, and this presentation is now called Perrault syndrome .
While Turner syndrome has similarities with renal anomalies and developmental delay, Turner syndrome is only found in females and often expresses differently. In Turner syndrome, there is a lower incidence of developmental delays, left-sided heart defects are constant and the occurrence of renal abnormalities is much lower. [36] Other RASopathies
