Turner's Syndrome Awareness

Written by pinkpolkadots95

29 August 2009

Most people see me as your ordinary thirteen year old girl. Well, I am, but there is actually a different side to this story! I was diagnosed with Turner’s Syndrome at the age of three years old. Turner’s Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that only affects females, with the fact that one of two “X’ chromosomes is either defective or missing.
