📋Overview
This genetic disorder occurs when one of the two X chromosomes normally present in females is missing or structurally altered. The condition can lead to various physical characteristics and developmental challenges, though the specific presentation varies significantly among individuals.
Clinical observations often identify the condition through characteristic features such as short stature or delayed pubertal development. While the 45,X karyotype is a common genetic profile, some individuals may have mosaicism, where the chromosomal change is present in only some cells.
