4. Narrow aorta
Some patients who have turner syndrome also suffer from a narrowing of the aorta. The aorta is responsible for supplying most of the blood to the lower half of your body. Thus, the narrowing of it could lead to various circulatory problems. It is unclear why turner syndrome leads to the narrowing of the aorta, but it could be a result of the low estrogen levels in those with Turner syndrome.
Another theory is that the genetic blanks in the X chromosome lead to improper formation of the heart making the aorta prone to narrowing as time goes on. While doctors can’t agree which mechanism of turner syndrome leads to the narrowing of the aorta, they can all agree that it is a very dangerous symptom of the condition that needs to be treated immediately after the initial diagnosis.
