Turner+Syndrome+-Remy+S+!

**Description: ** When only one X chromosome is made, or one full X and one incomplete X is made, the daughter has Turner Syndrome. This disorder gives abnormal sexual characteristics and causes the girls to be short and develop differently.
 * Turner Syndrome **

**Inheritance: ** Turner Syndrome is a sex linked. When girls only get one X chromosome, or get one X chromosome which is not fully developed, they end up with Turner Syndrome. About 20% of Turner Syndrome cases, one of the X chromosomes are abnormal. About 30% are only missing the X chromosomes in some of their cells.

**Punnett Square: ****Pedigree Chart: ** Normally the daughter gets one X chromosome from her father and one from her mother but when one is missing she gets Turner Syndrome. It is sex linked; however, it's not passed down; therefore, you can not make a punnett square or pedigree chart for the disorder.

**Symptoms: ** ~Hit puberty late ~Shorter than the average girl (girls with Turner Syndrome are normally about 4’8’’)-Webbed neck-Low hairline ~Swollen hands & feet ~Slightly turner elbows ~Low / set back jaw ~Heart / kidney defects ~Unable to reproduce
