Welcome to our first crash courses session on sex chromosome abnormalities: Turner Syndrome 101. In this video we will be introducing topics and terms such as meiosis, chromosomes, and non-disjunction. This video will explore how non-disjunction during meiosis can give rise to a variety of disorders including Turner Syndrome. We will be discussing prevalence symptoms, treatment of Turner Syndrome.
