What are the statistics about Turner Syndrome?
Turner Syndrome is a very rare disease and not many people have it. According to Genetic Disorders Library about 800 new cases of Turner Syndrome are diagnosed every year. Also almost 1 out of 2,500 babies that are born have Turner Syndrome(http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/disorders/whataregd/turner/). More than 95% of adult women with Turner Syndrome are short and infertile says Turner Syndrome: eMedicine Pediatrics (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/949681-overview). Lastly statistics show that right now the United States has 60,000 females that currently have this disease(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/949681-overview). This may seem like a lot but when the whole population of the United States is more than 300,000,000 billion 60,000 females is not a lot.
