Everything About The Most Common Genetic Conditions

Turner Syndrome

You get to escape Turner syndrome, men. It only affects females! There's a reason for this. The X chromosome helps determine gender. You get one of them as a man. Women get 2! But with Turner syndrome, the second X chromosome is compromised. It'll be damaged or missing upon birth. Yes, it will be! Men, this one's not inherited a lot. But hold your horses. It also doesn't display symptoms all the time. That said, physical abnormalities are a huge, huge part of Turner syndrome.

The most common sign, yes, the most common, is a webbed neck. Men, people with this condition have low-set ears too. Being very, very short is another sign! More symptoms are heart defects and ovarian failure. You know what the second ones mean: girls with this can't have children most of the time. Sad. You'll see problems doing executive tasks too. Men, this condition makes it hard to stay motivated, focus, or practice self-management!
