Turner syndrome is a genetic condition in which a female is born missing all or part of one X chromosome. It is associated with a range of features that can include short stature, delayed puberty, and heart and kidney abnormalities, though the specific effects vary considerably between individuals. It occurs only in females and typically results from a random error in the formation of reproductive cells or in early fetal development.

Turner syndrome (TS), commonly known as 45,X, or 45,X0, is a chromosomal disorder in which cells of females have only one X chromosome instead of two, or are partially missing an X chromosome (sex chromosome monosomy) leading to the complete or partial deletion of the (PAR1, PAR2) in the affected X chromosome (these are called pseudoautosomal regions).
