Wilson-Turner Syndrome (WTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of physical and mental abnormalities. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC). Symptoms of WTS include intellectual disability, seizures, facial dysmorphism, growth retardation, and behavioral problems.

The symptoms of Wilson-Turner syndrome vary from person to person, but may include:

-Developmental delays
-Intellectual disability
-Seizures
-Growth delays
-Feeding difficulties
-Speech delays
-Hearing loss
-Vision problems
-Behavioral issues
-Muscle weakness
-Joint contractures
-Scoliosis
-Abnormalities of the hands and feet
-Heart defects
-Kidney abnormalities
-Gastrointestinal problems
-Skin abnormalities

Wilson-Turner syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the X-linked gene, G6PD. This gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), which helps the body break down glucose. When the gene is mutated, the body is unable to produce enough G6PD, leading to a variety of symptoms.

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Wilson-Turner syndrome. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and complications associated with the condition. This may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medications to help manage seizures, pain, and other symptoms. Additionally, genetic counseling may be recommended to help families understand the condition and its implications.

The exact cause of Wilson-Turner syndrome is unknown, but there are some risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing the condition. These include:

• Having a family history of Wilson-Turner syndrome
• Being of African-American descent
• Being female
• Having a history of autoimmune disorders
• Having a history of thyroid problems
• Having a history of diabetes
• Having a history of obesity
• Having a history of high blood pressure
• Having a history of high cholesterol

Unfortunately, there is no cure for Wilson-Turner syndrome. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and complications associated with the condition. Medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as seizures, muscle spasms, and pain. Physical and occupational therapy may also be recommended to help improve mobility and strength.
