Turner Contact Group Ireland (TCGI)

Providing information, resources and support for those affected by Turner Syndrome

Tuner Syndrome (TS) is a condition that occurs in approximately 1 of 2,500 girls born. It is sometimes diagnosed at birth, but it can be detected as late as in adulthood.

The most common features of TS are lymphedema (swelling of hands and feet) in newborns, specific heart and/or kidney problems, slow growth and/or short stature, learning difficulties, delayed puberty, and infertility.

The members of TCGI have offered a wealth of support for almost 20 years. We understand that every person’s needs are unique as Turner Syndrome affects each girl and woman in a different way. Our aim is to provide information, resources and support for parents, children, teenagers and women affected by Turner Syndrome.
