Turner syndrome occurs in approximately one out of every 2,000 live female births. The syndrome is characterized by the partial or complete absence of one X chromosome. It is reported that more than 50% of cases have a 45,X karyotype. Another 20%-35% have mosaic karyotypes. Other karyotypes include those with various structural abnormalities.

"Clinicians working with individuals with TS should be highly attuned to the identification of impairments related to the neurocognitive phenotype in TS, which may be significantly impacting their patients’ ability to successfully navigate school, personal, or work environments."
On July 13 and 14, 2014, the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States sponsored the inaugural meeting of the Turner Resource Network (TRN) in Jacksonville, Florida. In attendance were women living with Turner syndrome from all walks of life. They are mothers, daughters, lawyers, teachers, judges, administrators, clerks, pediatricians, internists, endocrinologists, clinical geneticists, students, and psychologists. These committed girls and women freely exchanged ideas with the more than thirty clinicians and scientists who were present at the meeting. A summary of their ideas has been published in this downloadable e-book.
