- Abstract
-
Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common sex chromosome disorder. A hallmark clinical feature of TS is early ovarian failure, which severely decreases a womans chances of achieving natural pregnancy. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation, an experimental fertility preservation process, may provide women with TS another reproductive option. This study explored the attitudes of the Turner syndrome community regarding possible issues surrounding fertility preservation.
