Turner syndrome is a genetic condition in which a (female) person has only one X chromosome instead of two. Scientists have used a new computational method for precisely measuring sex chromosomes to ...

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects only females. It involves a lack of part or all of a second sex chromosome in some or all cells. The symptoms of Turner syndrome (TS) can vary ...

BLOOMINGTON — At first glance, Kayla Scottberg doesn’t look much different from any other 5-year-old girl. Then she stands beside her sister, Sarah, who is 3. They are both the same height — 3-feet, 3 ...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disproportionately affects women. Recent work demonstrates that men with Klinefelter's syndrome (47,XXY men) have a similar risk of developing SLE as do women. We ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, working with University of Oxford, University of York and Oxford Archaeology, have developed a new technique to measure the number of chromosomes in ancient ...

The unique mechanism behind the evolutionary survival of the human Y chromosome may also be responsible for a range of sex disorders, from failed sperm production to sex reversal to Turner Syndrome.

Chromosomal abnormalities can include two basic categories: numerical or structural. A structural abnormality can include an alteration to the structure of the chromosome, as the name suggests.

STUDIES of human chromosomes have been greatly facilitated by the development of newer technics, particularly peripheral blood leukocyte culture. 1–3 Many abnormalities have been described, most of ...
