About Mosaic monosomy X

What is Mosaic monosomy X?

Mosaic monosomy X is a rare genetic disorder caused by the presence of only one X chromosome in some of the cells of a female's body. This condition is caused by a random error in cell division during the early stages of embryonic development. It can cause a variety of physical and developmental problems, including short stature, infertility, and learning disabilities.
