Turner syndrome
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal condition that alters development in females. Women with this condition tend to be shorter than average and are usually unable to conceive a child (infertile) because of an absence of ovarian function. Other features of this condition that can vary among women who have Turner syndrome include: extra skin on the ...
Turner syndrome is not considered a disability, although it can cause certain learning challenges, including with learning mathematics and with memory. 7 Most girls and women with Turner syndrome lead normal, healthy, productive lives with proper medical care. My daughter has been diagnosed with Turner syndrome.
The heart defects associated with some cases of Turner syndrome can increase the risk of severe, life-threatening complications including high blood pressure of the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) or aortic dissection, a condition in which there is a tear in the inner wall of the aorta.
Overview. Turner syndrome, a condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing. Turner syndrome can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop and heart defects.
Turner's syndrome, unspecified Q96. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q96. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Other names for Turner's syndrome include monosomy X, 45X and Ullrich-Turner syndrome.
Monosomy X, or Turner syndrome, occurs when a baby is born with only one X sex chromosome, rather than the usual pair (either two Xs or one X and one Y sex chromosome).
A genetic test called a karyotype analysis can confirm a Turner syndrome diagnosis. This test requires a blood draw. It can determine whether one of the X chromosomes is fully or partially missing. A complete heart evaluation is also part of diagnosis.

In classical Turner syndrome, an X chromosome is completely missing. This affects about half of all people with TS. Mosaic Turner syndrome, mosaicism, or Turner mosaicism is where the abnormalities occur only in the X chromosome of some of the body's cells.
Appearance. Features of Turner syndrome may include a short neck with a webbed appearance, low hairline at the back of the neck, low-set ears, hands and feet that are swollen or puffy at birth, and soft nails that turn upward. Stature. Girls with Turner syndrome grow more slowly than other children.
Turner syndrome is a female-only genetic disorder that affects about 1 in every 2,000 baby girls. A girl with Turner syndrome only has 1 normal X sex chromosome, rather than the usual 2.
Turner syndrome is caused by partial or complete loss (monosomy) of the second sex chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of all body cells. They carry the genetic characteristics of each individual and they come in pairs. We receive one copy from each parent.
In some cases, the features associated with Chromosome 21 Ring may resemble those seen in individuals with other disorders of chromosome 21, such as Chromosome 21 Monosomy or Down Syndrome (also known as Chromosome 21 Trisomy).
Specifically, a trisomy is when a person has three of a particular chromosome, instead of the usual two. A monosomy is when they just have one chromosome instead of the usual two.
Turner syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects a girl's development. The cause is a missing or incomplete x chromosome. Girls who have it are short, and their ovaries don't work properly. Most are infertile. They are at risk for health difficulties such as high blood pressure, kidney problems, diabetes, cataracts, osteoporosis and thyroid problems.other physical features typical of turner syndrome are#N#short, "webbed" neck with folds of skin from tops of shoulders to sides of neck#N#low hairline in the back#N#low-set ears#N#swollen hands and feet#N#there is no cure for turner syndrome, but there are some treatments for the symptoms. Growth hormone often helps girls reach heights that are close to average. Hormone replacement can stimulate sexual development. Assisted reproduction techniques can help some women with turner syndrome get pregnant. nih: national institute of child health and human development 1 short, "webbed" neck with folds of skin from tops of shoulders to sides of neck 2 low hairline in the back 3 low-set ears 4 swollen hands and feet

A gonadal dysgenesis syndrome occurring in phenotypic females, characterized by the absence of a part or all of one of the sex chromosomes. Signs and symptoms include short stature, webbing of neck, low-set ears, hypogonadism, and sterility.

A syndrome in which the affected patients have only 45 chromosomes, the loss of one of the x chromosomes producing an xo chromosome constitution. The syndrome occurs in 1/2500 female births and nearly 99% of xo fetuses are aborted. Gonadal agenesis and short stature are the main features in the surviving infants. Associated anomalies may included webbed neck, cubitus valgus, shield chest, short stature, lymphedema, coarctation of the aorta, pigmented nevi, and various renal, skeletal, dermatologic, neoplastic, and autoimmune complications. Mental retardation is attributed to ring chromosome x. The phenotype varies and not all abnormalities occur in all patients.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q96 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD Code Q96 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the seven child codes of Q96 that describes the diagnosis 'turner's syndrome' in more detail.
Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, for example when having 45 or 47 chromosomes when 46 is expected in a human cell. It does not include a difference of one or more complete sets of chromosomes, which is called euploidy. An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders, including some human birth defects. Some cancer cells also have abnormal numbers of chromosomes. Aneuploidy originates during cell division when the chromosomes do not separate properly between the two cells.
