How many people are affected or at risk of Turner syndrome?

Researchers estimate that Turner syndrome affects about 1 of every 2,000 to 4,000 female live births worldwide.1

Generally, Turner syndrome is not passed on from mother to child because, in many cases, women with Turner syndrome have infertility.
