Diagnosing Turner Syndrome: Suddenly, many questions arise for affected parents, girls, and women. Doctors and specialists do not always have sufficient and satisfying answers. Only women are affected by Turner Syndrome. In these cases, the second of the two X chromosomes is altered or missing, which typically leads to main symptoms such as short stature and the absence of spontaneous puberty development. The author is herself affected: she paints a vivid picture of her daily life and offers insight into her thoughts and feelings. Additionally, she has been advising girls and women with Turner Syndrome for several years. Among other things, the book answers the following questions: What is different for a woman with Turner Syndrome? What typical developmental issues arise during puberty? Is independent living possible for me?.
