Is there anyone out there who has TS and a partial Y chromosome called a isodicetric Y? - (I hope I am spelling that correctly)
My daughter is scheduled for an ultrasound next week and I am looking to write with someone if they have any information or experience with this.
Thank you!

" I have TS with just the X and nothing more. I am 42 now. When in my teens and twenties, I took growth hormones. Good luck. "

" Aly,

Before we got the genetic results back our endocrinologist said that if she has a partial Y that they would go in and do an immediate ultrasound because the ovaries tend to grow tumors if not taken out early. That is the only info I know of, sorry I can't help you more. Taylor was diagnosed with just the single X, 45X its called I believe.

" My daughter does have about 10% y chromosomes. She did have her ultrasound, and everything checked out. She is due to have surgery in Aug. because she is at risk for tumors. This was a very hard decision, but when it came down to it we believe it is the only way to really protect her health long term. If I can be of any help or encouragement let me know. "
