In 1938 Dr. Henry Turner, an internist at the
University of Oklahoma, described what is now called
Turner's syndrome. Turner's syndrome is a relatively
common genetic disorder found in females affecting many
body systems. Although this disorder was described in
1938, it was not until 1959 that the technology was
available to determine the cause of this disorder.
Humans normally have a total of 46 chromosomes (which
are tiny, DNA-containing elements) that are present in

Most girls and women are managed by endocrinologists,
who are experts in screening for other associated
complications of Turner's syndrome. New molecular genetic
studies may demonstrate how information is programmed on
the X- and Y- sex chromosomes. To find a cure they need to
create another X chromosome to make this person a healthy
female. It is only a matter of years before the scientific
world finds a cure for the missing X-chromosome.
