Presentation
Some of the cases present associated microphthalmia [ 87 ], and/or microcornea [ 88, 92, 95 - 97 ]. [molvis.org]
Chromosome 6p deletion can be de novo or inherited from a parent with a chromosomal rearrangement such as a balanced translocation. [1] Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person. Last updated: 8/5/2015 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
The present report describes a new instance of a partial deletion, namely that of the short arm of a C chromosome, probably a 6 (?6p— aberration). [jamanetwork.com]
In the present study, we could not find a correlation of 1p alterations with metastases‐free survival in patients with monosomy 3. However, this might be due to the relatively small study size. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Behavior Problem
Features that often occur in people with chromosome 6p deletion include developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral problems, and distinctive facial features. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment
At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you for your child. [urmc.rochester.edu]

There is no cure, but there are treatments that can ease your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Growth hormone injections may help children with Turner syndrome grow taller. [healthline.com]
Prognosis
Monosomy 3 is the most frequent abnormality and is associated with poor prognosis. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
Etiology
We excluded storage disorders such as mucopolysaccharidosis type IV, which can present from birth in the form of CCO, along with all other metabolic causes and storage disorders, as etiologically distinct. [molvis.org]
Prevention
Experts don’t know how to prevent the chromosome error that causes TS. It often happens by chance during conception. It does not often run in families. [urmc.rochester.edu]
There is no way to prevent Turner syndrome, and the cause of the genetic abnormality is unknown. [healthline.com]
This confusion may prevent useful genotype-phenotype correlations from being identified and the true nature of this spectrum of diseases and associated genes from being revealed. [molvis.org]
