Turner Syndrome is one of the few genetic diseases that affects women only. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, one set from each parent. One of these pairs determines whether you are male (XY) or female (XX). Turner's is the result of a missing or defective X-chromosome. Because a Y-chromosome cannot function on its own, male embryos missing the X, don't survive. The X-chromosome can survive on it's own, however, and the result is a girl with Turner Syndrome.
