Physical Features: Common physical traits may include a webbed neck, low-set ears, a broad chest, and a high hairline.
Ovarian Insufficiency: Many individuals with Turner Syndrome experience ovarian dysfunction, which can affect fertility.
Heart and Kidney Abnormalities: Some individuals may have congenital heart defects and kidney problems that require monitoring and management.
Learning Difficulties: Although intelligence is usually within the normal range, individuals may have difficulties with spatial reasoning and mathematics.
