only affects women - does it?

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"Turner syndrome ... only affects women." 1. If all of a person' cells are X0, their body's outer appearance is that of a woman. But is they a woman? 2. If a person is a Human chimera, some of the cells might be X0 and some might be XY. The person might be considered a man or intersexed. 2A01:C23:74C6:FD00:AC76:E0C5:310E:1209 (talk) 18:11, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Turner Syndrome prevelance

Many think it is so common, likely from misconceptions. It is fairly rare and occurs 1 in 2500 births 2607:FEA8:B54:CBE0:1CD1:2715:EA51:5558 (talk) 00:49, 9 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Poorly Written "Presentation" Section

Latest comment: 5 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Several parts of the Presentation section read awkwardly and lack proper placement of sources. I think some parts should be almost entirely rewritten, but that's just me. Also spelling mistakes. Anyone with more time, I suggest you take a look! 104.202.140.96 (talk) 23:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
