Abstract

Turner's syndrome, a sex-linked genetic disorder, affects approximately 1 in 2,000 women. Characterized by short stature and sterility, these women also are predisposed to a variety of physical stigmata, including heart and kidney defects. In this article the author describes the impact of Turner's syndrome on patients and family members and gives guidelines for social work intervention.
