Most girls and women have two full and complete X chromosomes while girls with turner syndrome have only part of the second X chromosome. Women and girls are diagnosed with turner syndrome have features such as slow growth rates‚ a webbed neck‚ broad shoulders‚ and widely spaced nipples.

Amniocentesis is the testing of amniotic fluid to reveal chromosomal abnormalities and lung development in a fetus. Most commonly this test is done on high-risk patients‚ but it is becoming more common for all mothers-to-be to participate (Harvard Medical Dictionary).

By your 40s‚ the eggs that your ovaries release each month are more likely to have structural problems (chromosomal abnormalities). Chromosomal abnormalities in your eggs can raise the risk of miscarriage and birth defects. This is why both these complications are more common in older women.
