Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition causing short stature and infertility in women and girls.
Turner syndrome is caused by the complete or partial absence of one of the two X chromosomes normally found in females. Turner syndrome is not associated with any environmental or any other factors generally associated with genetic problems. Despite many efforts, no real causes have been found for this condition. It appears to be a random event that can happen to anyone. As a chromosomal condition, there is no cure for Turner syndrome the way that antibiotics can cure strep throat.
