Turner Syndrome Prognosis (Expectations)
This chromosome abnormality is associated with numerous medical conditions and problems in addition to the lack of sexual maturity. In the absence of severe heart defects at birth, most girls with Turner syndrome survive into adulthood and have normal intelligence.
Psychological problems may result from the stigma associated with the condition and its symptoms.
About 2-5% of women with Turner syndrome have some ovarian function. They may spontaneously start menstruating and can then become pregnant. Women with Turner syndrome can also have children using donor eggs and in vitro fertilization.
