Mosaic Turner Syndrome Specifics

A sex chromosome may also be lost during early stages of embryonic development, which can result in some cells of the growing body receiving a single X chromosome. This condition is called mosaicism, and the features of mosaic Turner syndrome correlate with the relative percentage of 45,X cells within the body, compared to 46,XX cells.

Symptoms of Mosaic Turner Syndrome

If only a small percentage of cells have been affected, the signs and symptoms of Turner syndrome may be relatively mild. An example is a woman with mosaic Turner syndrome possibly experiencing regular menstrual cycles until her late 20s, rather than not having any menstrual cycle at all
