    My niece has Turner’s syndrome. She had to learn to give herself hormone shots to grow and develop as others normally would during puberty, but due to very underdeveloped ovaries is incapable of producing gametes. How does she fit in?

      Turner’s syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that only affects females. Her body is organized around the production of the larger of two gamete sizes.
