Hi Brooke!! I'm 17 and also have Turners I've always understood Mosaic to be that wether a cell has a damaged X or a missing one or a whole one can vary from cell to cell but in a consistant pattern and that a variation called Isocromosome X is where a girl has all 46 chromosomes but is missing a part of one always. I was diagnosed when I was around a year old and I just have damaged X's and I've always been told that I have Isochromosome. I love the fact that you do all of these TS videos by the way I think theyre wonderful
Thanks for the video. My 2 week old was diagnosed with Mosaic Turner's syndrome. Couldn't find out the difference on the internet. So this was very helpful.
It should be noted that it really is individual. Those with mosaic have the added problem of not being diagnosed early and go into spontaneous early menopause...so they have a very small window to save and use their eggs.. Some damaged chromosomes cause problems that those with classic do not. The TS society of the United States has links to lots of resources. Recent resources also shows that classic TS women are in fact not missing all the second x's on their 23rd set of chromosomes....or we'd not be here. However, a typical karotype test can't pick that up. Best wishes!
Hello, I have enjoyed your Turner's Syndrome videos, but disagree with one thing. While whether the X chromosome is missing or just damaged is a variable, "mosaic" and "classic" refer the number of cells affected (all or just some). I am a Classic, however I have had almost no of the typical symptoms of TS. So I really appreciate how you stress how Turner Syndrome is a spectrum.
+Olivia Dykast Hi! Thank you for sharing. Turners is absolutely a spectrum, none of the research I have read or come across has said that one is some cells are affected and the other is all cells are affected, from what I have been told many times and read many times if all cells were affected you would not be able to survive. I am classic as well and show few symptoms
I was diagnosed MTS at 33yo after having "girlie" infections constantly for 4 years, and irregular periods my whole life. I started my period at 13yo, and I have cysts and dermoids removed off my ovaries( first cyst was removed at 10yo and tortioned my r ovary 3x's that was saved). I was in pain every 3rd month for years until it was removed. At age 30 my right ovary removed cause a dermiod engulfed it. Then at age 38 had to have my only left failing ovary removed because a dermoid engulf that one as well(along w my uterus cause of fibroids..and terrible bleeding). Now I am miserably menopausal at 38yo. Insomnia, night sweats, hot flashes, irritable. Still taking same hormones since 33yo. Awaiting to see about hormone pellet therapy that seems like it could be a means to this madness. I had 2 children without any issues in my early 20's. Always been a smoker without issues being on HRT for all these years...knock on wood...currently in the process of quoting. Thanks for the video. Hope my story can help someone. I just wanted to hear that there was someone else like me and what they have experienced. That was helpful when I was diagnosed.
Hi Brooke, the majority of literature I have come across specifies that the difference isn't that's chromosomes are either not there or broken it's the amount of cells that are affected... in mosaic it's broken or gone in every other cell whereas classic is damaged or not there in every cell. I'm still quite new to all of this so maybe what I've read isn't right but I just wanted to let you know that that's what I'd read😌 great video, very informative xx
+Hayley Elliott I have never heard that, I have always heard the difference is the way it's damaged (mosaic as damaged and classic as completely missing) I'm not sure the person could survive with all the cells being affected as far as what you read for classic.
Ive come across your video.I have Turner syndrome(mosaic)as well.When I heard how you explained the difference between classic and mosaic it has given me a lot of hope.I came to puberty without help.I got my period on my own.But my cicle was very unbalanced.Wich is when the doctor gave me "the pill" to regulate my cicle.As I grew older my doctor told me that I have no chances what so ever to get pregnant.She gave me the option of adoption or egg donation.But it still bugs me that it cant happen the "natural" way.Please share your experiences with me.Is there more hope then what the doctor wanted to make me believe?
Hi Brooke. Very informative video. I wouldn't have known the differences between classic.and mosaic TS. What percentage of females have classic TS and which have mosaic TS ? ♥️
I've never gotten a karyotype done but I think I'm classic. My dr are 95% sure I'm infertile and I've never been able to ovulate on my own without medications and I'm 24 now. My other symptoms aren't super severe but thanks for clearing up the differences :)
Make sure to watch my most current one on this topic! I learned a ton more, and clarified some things! I'd definitely get a karyotype to help confirm things, it can be so helpful
@@ButterflyTV1 it really sucks because I've spoken to my endocrinologist and she told me that it wasn't necessary to do a karyotype because it is a "waste of time and money to do unnecessary testing" Tbh I don't even know how this dr is qualified she doesn't seem to know squat about Turners
@@Jenneration95x that is very odd, unless she does not believe you have it, but testing and confirming is the only way to know and the only way to know for sure whether you are classic or mosaic. I would not be shy about asking for a second opinion
Hi, I was diagnosed with ST today, I'm 34 and I look normal. I'm having problems having babies and that was how I discovered the syndrome. But I am very confused, I don't have almost any of the symptoms I've found in my research.
Wow! Grateful you found my channel. Did they do a blood test to diagnose you? If so that will tell you more. Not everyone has severe symptoms, each case is very unique.
They did the kyrotype (sorry my English), it said that I am 45X0 /46XX. I've lost 4 pregnancy already, one of them with 18 weeks. I'm not sure if I am clasic or mosaic, I didn't know anything about ST before today. I'm so confused with everything and concern. My doctor is going to analyze my case and I will see her next week.
That karyotype is definitely turners. Maybe mosaic? Especially if you have been able to conceive at all and had no other major signs before this, id say the most likely bet is you are mosaic. I am so sorry for your loss, I hope the doctors can help you figure out why it happened. Turners really can seem more daunting than it has to be. Ask any questions you have!
Hi brooke, i just found that i am a girl with turner mosaic these 4 months and i'm on medicinal treatment now. Please give me your email, so i can ask further because there is less information about it in my country. Thank's
Mosaic and Classic are really just general categories to try to understand Turner's. It is not a guarantee of impact or symptoms. There are many cases of mosaic that are "more severe" than some classic cases. The best is to just focus on your personal case and what is happening with you.
Hi, i am 4 months pregnant, just received my fish result of amniocentesis yesterday which says that my baby might would have mosaic TS which is 20%. I have a lot of queries about that... Can she have her periods and pregnancy on her own ?and if so, would she have complications in it? If i get pregnant again in future, would that child also affected with MTS? Or can i have safe and sound baby boy in future? Or if i have boy in future, he would also have chromosomal abnormality? Can you plz ans these
Hi, I can definitely try my best to help explain, however, I do recommend you speak with your doctor also as I am not a medical professional and do not know the particulars of your daughters case. In general infertility is very common amongst women with TS. She will need testing to know what that might look like for her personally. For other children after, I do not believe there would be any higher of a risk for chromosomal abnormalities than normally but again I am not a professional. I hope this helps
The best way to know for sure is a karyotype!! Ask your doctor for one. Typically yes, a complete deletion would be classic Turner's but I would ask for a test to better determine that
i have an aunty who has incorrectly informed neighbours and others of her belief that i am intellectually challenged which is rubbish and i find it derogatory and offensive

+Rebekah Schietroma I'm so glad!!
I just found out I have mosaic turners syndrom, i dont show any physical signs but i am not ovulating i am 20
Alot of women find out when they begin having trouble conceiving
Very well done Brooke.
+Faith Hope Love thank you!!
thank you sooo much for your videos you really inspire me to be better and to not let my turners get in the way of my dreams ❤️

Hi!! Thank you for reaching out, go ahead and message the Brooke tv Facebook page :)
me too
My sis has mosiac she never had period
I kew it that im not that afected by ts so i have mosaic! 😃 Like i have no phyiscal symtoms other than being short and it honestly doesnt bother me 😂
Always get a karyotype!! I have very little symptoms, yet am classic. A test is the only way to know for sure.
I have Mosaic but no period and multiple doctors said my ovaries aren’t healthy or that functional…..but why if I have Mosaic

If a turner girl has one of the two chromosomes missing, would that be considered mosaic turner syndrome???
The best way to know for sure is a karyotype!! Ask your doctor for one. Typically yes, a complete deletion would be classic Turner's but I would ask for a test to better determine that
Is mosiac disposable on ultrasound
In order to see whether someone is mosaic or classic, a karyotype is required through a blood test
You would not be able to tell from an ultrasound
Are the any negative effects with growth hormone therapy ?
There definitely can be, that greatly depends on the individual case.
Please help me find the answer😩
i have an aunty who has incorrectly informed neighbours and others of her belief that i am intellectually challenged which is rubbish and i find it derogatory and offensive
That is a common misconception
