Oocyte quantity and quality are crucial for a perspective of fertility preservation in women with Turner syndrome
Affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 girls at birth, Turner syndrome (TS) is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, in which subjects are monosomic for the X chromosome (45,X) or, in a minority of cases, present with mosaicism for the simultaneous presence of a normal 46,XX cell line. TS is associated with a multiplicity of medical conditions and anatomic anomalies, including cardiac, circulatory, hepatic, renal, and metabolic pathologies, as well as short stature. TS also dramatically affects ovarian function and fertility.
