Turner syndrome is a genetic condition and there is no cure. A person will never outgrow the disorder. People with Turner syndrome will receive periodic evaluations (screenings) to see how the disorder affects people, which can include evaluating the heart, hearing or other systems of the body. Although there is not cure, people who receive appropriate treatment of Turner syndrome and have developed an individual treatment and care plan with their doctors, the prognosis is that they can have a normal or near-normal life expectancy. The risk of life-threatening complications such as problems with the heart do exist, however.
Talk to you or your child’s doctors or a genetic counselor about Turner syndrome for the most up-to-date information on symptom as well as treatment options.
