TURNER SYNDROME: MOSAIC VS CLASSIC? 

Thanks for the video. My 2 week old was diagnosed with Mosaic Turner's syndrome. Couldn't find out the difference on the internet. So this was very helpful.

Hi Brooke!! I'm 17 and also have Turners I've always understood Mosaic to be that wether a cell has a damaged X or a missing one or a whole one can vary from cell to cell but in a consistant pattern and that a variation called Isocromosome X is where a girl has all 46 chromosomes but is missing a part of one always. I was diagnosed when I was around a year old and I just have damaged X's and I've always been told that I have Isochromosome. I love the fact that you do all of these TS videos by the way I think theyre wonderful

It should be noted that it really is individual. Those with mosaic have the added problem of not being diagnosed early and go into spontaneous early menopause...so they have a very small window to save and use their eggs.. Some damaged chromosomes cause problems that those with classic do not. The TS society of the United States has links to lots of resources. Recent resources also shows that classic TS women are in fact not missing all the second x's on their 23rd set of chromosomes....or we'd not be here. However, a typical karotype test can't pick that up. Best wishes!

I’m 19 years old and I have Turner syndrome I’ve had it for years but I find these videos helpful

thank you sooo much for your videos you really inspire me to be better and to not let my turners get in the way of my dreams ❤️

Thank you so much! This is very informative.

Hello, I have enjoyed your Turner's Syndrome videos, but disagree with one thing. While whether the X chromosome is missing or just damaged is a variable, "mosaic" and "classic" refer the number of cells affected (all or just some). I am a Classic, however I have had almost no of the typical symptoms of TS. So I really appreciate how you stress how Turner Syndrome is a spectrum.

Very well done Brooke.

i have mosaicism turner's and my heart is doing well no detected issues but anyway thanks for your video

I just found out I have mosaic turners syndrom, i dont show any physical signs but i am not ovulating i am 20

Ive come across your video.I have Turner syndrome(mosaic)as well.When I heard how you explained the difference between classic and mosaic it has given me a lot of hope.I came to puberty without help.I got my period on my own.But my cicle was very unbalanced.Wich is when the doctor gave me "the pill" to regulate my cicle.As I grew older my doctor told me that I have no chances what so ever to get pregnant.She gave me the option of adoption or egg donation.But it still bugs me that it cant happen the "natural" way.Please share your experiences with me.Is there more hope then what the doctor wanted to make me believe?

Hi Brooke. Very informative video. I wouldn't have known the differences between classic.and mosaic TS. What percentage of females have classic TS and which have mosaic TS ? ♥️

Hi Brooke, the majority of literature I have come across specifies that the difference isn't that's chromosomes are either not there or broken it's the amount of cells that are affected... in mosaic it's broken or gone in every other cell whereas classic is damaged or not there in every cell. I'm still quite new to all of this so maybe what I've read isn't right but I just wanted to let you know that that's what I'd read😌 great video, very informative xx

I was diagnosed MTS at 33yo after having "girlie" infections constantly for 4 years, and irregular periods my whole life. I started my period at 13yo, and I have cysts and dermoids removed off my ovaries( first cyst was removed at 10yo and tortioned my r ovary 3x's that was saved). I was in pain every 3rd month for years until it was removed. At age 30 my right ovary removed cause a dermiod engulfed it. Then at age 38 had to have my only left failing ovary removed because a dermoid engulf that one as well(along w my uterus cause of fibroids..and terrible bleeding). Now I am miserably menopausal at 38yo. Insomnia, night sweats, hot flashes, irritable. Still taking same hormones since 33yo. Awaiting to see about hormone pellet therapy that seems like it could be a means to this madness. I had 2 children without any issues in my early 20's. Always been a smoker without issues being on HRT for all these years...knock on wood...currently in the process of quoting. Thanks for the video. Hope my story can help someone. I just wanted to hear that there was someone else like me and what they have experienced. That was helpful when I was diagnosed.

I've never gotten a karyotype done but I think I'm classic. My dr are 95% sure I'm infertile and I've never been able to ovulate on my own without medications and I'm 24 now. My other symptoms aren't super severe but thanks for clearing up the differences :)

Hi, I was diagnosed with ST today, I'm 34 and I look normal. I'm having problems having babies and that was how I discovered the syndrome. But I am very confused, I don't have almost any of the symptoms I've found in my research.

Hi brooke, i just found that i am a girl with turner mosaic these 4 months and i'm on medicinal treatment now. Please give me your email, so i can ask further because there is less information about it in my country. Thank's

My sis has mosiac she never had period

Please help me find the answer😩

Are the any negative effects with growth hormone therapy ?

Hi, i am 4 months pregnant, just received my fish result of amniocentesis yesterday which says that my baby might would have mosaic TS which is 20%. I have a lot of queries about that... Can she have her periods and pregnancy on her own ?and if so, would she have complications in it? If i get pregnant again in future, would that child also affected with MTS? Or can i have safe and sound baby boy in future? Or if i have boy in future, he would also have chromosomal abnormality? Can you plz ans these

Is mosiac disposable on ultrasound

I kew it that im not that afected by ts so i have mosaic! 😃 Like i have no phyiscal symtoms other than being short and it honestly doesnt bother me 😂

i have an aunty who has incorrectly informed neighbours and others of her belief that i am intellectually challenged which is rubbish and i find it derogatory and offensive

If a turner girl has one of the two chromosomes missing, would that be considered mosaic turner syndrome???
