Turner syndrome

 

Hello my name is Turner, well Turner Syndrome. In a way I make people look bad, well mostly girls. How you would ask?  I enter my host either at birth or even when he/she is going through puberty. Most girls are born with two X chromosomes. I enter rarely boys body but mostly girls that have only 1 X chromosome. I can cause: webbing in the neck, (which is extra folds of skin extending the tops of both shoulders to the sides of the neck), a low hairline (around the back of the neck) and they’re eyelids droop, weird bone structures (especially with hands and elbows), big and lots of moles on the skin and extra fluid in the hands and feet. Some girls that are affected by me can have an affect on social life and on how they look with they’re body image or they’re self-esteem. People that I host are all different, some may look good and some may look bad. It makes me feel bad that I affect how people are and I wish they would find a cure to get rid of me.

BUT if at an early age doctors take care of my host with proper medication it can lead to proper healthy productive lives!!! As I mentioned earlier, I usually take over my host at young age or around the time they are expected to go through puberty. When doctors figure out I’m hiding inside my host they do a blood test called karyotype. This specific sort of test counts the number of chromosomes and can sniff out abnormally shaped or missing pieces. If the test has shown that I am in the body, then the doctor proceeds to poke needles into my host. It hurts because I’m there too.

There is no specific cure for me however scientists discovered a number of treatments help with growth problems for my host and researchers are always looking for ways to take me out the her/his body. There is a growth hormone treatment that can improve growth and influence a girl’s adult height. I hope they find a positive cure from this disease which is me, Thank you
