'''Turner syndrome''' or '''Ullrich-Turner syndrome''' encompasses several chromosomal abnormalities, of which [[Aneuploidy#Monosomy|monosomy]] X is the most common. It occurs in 1 out of every 2500 female births.<ref name=NIHClinical>{{cite web| url=http://turners.nichd.nih.gov/ClinFrIntro.html| author=National Institutes of Health| title=Clinical Features of Turner syndrome| accessdate=2006-07-17| year=2004}}</ref> Instead of the normal XX [[XY sex-determination system|sex chromosomes]] for a female, only one [[X chromosome]] is present and fully functional. A normal female [[karyotype]] is labeled <code>46,XX</code>; individuals with Turner syndrome are <code>45,X</code>. In Turner syndrome, female sexual characteristics are present but generally underdeveloped.
