It'll stop them entirely sometimes too!

Genetic Abnormalities

Men, your baby girl's going to have Turner syndrome because of gene! Yes, if her genes are abnormal. She'll have one working X chromosome. That takes care of what it should! But the other one? It won't work right. Parts of it are missing, and the rest won't work right. And for 50% of the girls? They won't even have a second X chromosome!

Sometimes your baby girl only has this happen in some cells. That means some cells get 2 working X chromosomes! Yes, it does! Men, that's called mosaic Turner syndrome.
