Diagnosing Turner syndrome
Because it is a genetic syndrome, TS must be diagnosed at the genetic level. Normally, girls have two X chromosomes (the sex chromosomes) in each cell. Girls with TS have either a missing or an incomplete X chromosome.
TS is usually diagnosed by a special blood test called a karyotype, which is used to look for damaged or missing chromosomes.
