Hi i am 13 and in 7th grade and have been dignosed with mosaic Turners which means that some of the cells in my body have no x chromnosome. Mosiac is rarer then normal Turners. Normal Turners is when none of the cells have a x chromosome. Only girls can get this because they have two x chromosomes. In a normal case the sets of two would only have one x chromnosome. But with mosaic Turners only some of the cells have no x chromnosome. We have been serching for those cells in my body since November. aka lots of blood tests. and lots of missed school! :) What Turners does to a girls body is it causes a girl to be short, have delayed puberty, lots of ear infections, troubles learning math:( a shortend 4th knuckle, toenails that grow up instead of foward, webbed neck, and swollen feet at birth. I have ear infections and i am only 4feet six inches tall at 13. I also have delayed puberty and I am on a IEP for math and I have been as long as I can remember.
