Syndrome: Turner’s

An Audiologist’s Perspective

The Genetic Problem

Turner’s Syndrome is primarily a female problem with a shortage of or abnormality of one of the two X-chromosomes. Instead of the normal 46XX, there is a 45X or 45X0. The suspected cause is weak or poor male sperm. The incidence is 32/100,000 live female births in Denmark and about 100/100,000 in Japan.
