In Turner syndrome, a female is missing an X chromosome or has an incomplete X chromosome, lacking complete genetic instructions. Understanding

Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by abnormalities in the sex chromosomes of some or all of an individual’s cells. These genetic changes can significantly impact the individual’s risk of developing certain kinds of cancers or benign tumors, which are caused by genetic mutations that enable cells to divide uncontrollably. In this article, we will explore

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic disorder characterized by the loss or alteration of one X chromosome in biological women. This genetic alteration can have knockdown effects that are reflected in elevated or reduced risks of certain kinds of cancer for TS patients. The impact of TS on the risk of solid tumors will be
