Just had my CVS test and was told my daughter will most likely have Mosaic Turners Syndrome?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and just found out that our daughter most likely has Mosaic Turners Syndrome. We were shocked as we never even heard of this before. We are meeting with the perinatologist and genetics counselor next week but I just wanted anyone's feedback on what Mosaics truly was and if anyone has it or a child who has it. Any feedback will be appreciated!

turner syndrome girl have a missing X chromasome, in classic turners it happens in every cell in the body, in mosiac it's some not all of the cells.


Turner syndrome causes short stature but growth hormone helps with that and they get close to "normal" height. almost all turner syndrome women are sterile as they have non functioning ovaries, but te womb and uterous are normal so pregnancy can be achieved with IVF using donor eggs. A few turner syndrome women have got pregnant naturally and usually it's those with mosiac turners.....


Intelligene is normal but there may be some slight learnig problems but most the girl/woman managed to overcome. Turners woman almost always lead fully independant lives.





if your daughter is diagnosed with Turner syndrome be careful where you get info on the condition as many books (medical library books) have wrong information, also there is a lot of rubbish on line about the condition, and many doctors are also uneducated on the condition too...


there are a few girls/ladies with Turner syndrome that have videos of themselves on U tube.. if you look there you will see what MOST Turner syndrome girls are like..(quite normal)

The mosaic I think, refers to there being a second X chromosome but it is only present in SOME cells.
Reply:please get a second opinion and sometimes those tests are wrong my friend was told her baby would have downs now shes 8 months and normal no down syndrome good luck I will pray for you!
Reply:I'm Sorry for the diagnosis. But I would wait until you meet with the geneticist. Sometimes the tests can be wrong.

Reply:Im not really educated on it, but my aunt has it and she is just really really short and her toes are kinda deformed. Not much help I know, but it seems to not be a huge deal. nothing fatal.
Reply:have faith alot of times tests in utero are wrong.
Reply:My daughter does not have it but she was tested for it at age 3. There is a lot of info on line if you do a quick search. It has a major affect on puberty. Girls with this often have to have help with puberty through hormone replacements and such. The part that scared me the most was that my daughter would probably not be able to have children. I guess the thought of my little girl not being perfect was horrible but this was a syndrome that we could deal with~~~if that makes any sense at all. I wish you the best and hope that the Dr's are wrong.

Reply:go to www.saintgianna.org - say the novena, ask saint gianna to correct this, many times in utero tests are wrong. they just told my neighbor that her little girl would have trisomy - a fatal disease. they even suggested abortion. this child was born last week - 100% healthy. no issues at all. i suggest prayers. God bless you and the little one.
Reply:I can tell you that it depends on how many of the cells are short a chromosome. That helps to determine the severity of the problem.





The only thing I really know about with this disorder personally is that women who have the disorder have a difficult time having children. High rate of miscarriage, along with stillbirths and early infant deaths. About 30-40% of women with this disorder are able to successfully have children although I don't know if this is because of an egg problem or an incubation problem. I also don't know if IVF resolves the issues.
