Carla has been diagnosed with Turner syndrome. Discuss what symptoms she might experience and the specific genetics she inherited.
What will be an ideal response?
Carla has only one X chromosome instead of a pair of sex chromosomes. She likely has typical female external genitalia, but her ovaries can develop abnormally into what is known as "streak gonad" due to an increase in connective tissue. In most cases, the ovaries do not produce either eggs (ova) or normal levels of female hormones, leading to infertility. She is likely fairly short. Her intelligence is normal, but specific deficits in spatial relationships and processing visual cues can occur.
