Turner syndrome, characterized by the presence of a monosomy X cell line, is a common chromosomal disorder. Patients with Turner syndrome are usually phenotypically female, and male cases are rarely reported. Here, we report a fetus with a mosaic karyotype: mos 45,X/46,X,del(Y)(q11.21). The fetus was initially misdiagnosed as female with Turner syndrome by both noninvasive prenatal testing and cytogenetic analysis of amniotic fluid and was subsequently found to have male anatomy by antenatal ultrasonography at 24 weeks gestational age. Through single nucleotide polymorphism-array and fluorescence in situ hybridization testing, we found that there was a truncated Y chromosome with sex-determining region Y (SRY) present in some cells of the fetus, which caused the male features in the fetus.

Turner syndrome is the most common sex chromosomal abnormality in about 1:2000-2500 live female births. While short stature and delayed puberty are the most common presentations of patients, atypical findings can also be seen. In this article, we present the Turner twins, who were diagnosed during inguinal hernia surgery when bilateral uterus and ovaries were found within the hernia sac.

Health care transition is a process by which children with chronic medical conditions gradually and purposefully move from pediatric to adult-centered health care systems. While transition guidelines have been published by multiple national and international organizations, transition processes have not been optimized for many populations, including youth with Turner syndrome (TS). Numerous barriers exist, at both the system and individual/family level.

Genomic studies of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders have identified several relevant protein-coding and noncoding variants. One gene with an excess of protein-coding variants is that also is the gene underlying the Hypotonia, Ataxia, and Delayed Development Syndrome (HADDS). In previous work, we have identified noncoding variants in an enhancer of called hs737 and further showed that there was an enrichment of deletions of this enhancer in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Genomics is a lifespan competency that has relevance for pediatric nursing practice. Identifying individuals who could benefit from genomic healthcare can enable timely diagnosis and treatment to improve health and wellbeing outcomes. Nurse practitioners (NPs) must have genomic competency to provide high quality, comprehensive pediatric care and support families through the continuum of care.
