Question
which of the following is the type of congenital heart disease that is often associated with turners syndrome?
transposition of the great vessels
atrial septal defect
marfans syndrome
coarctation of the aorta
Turner's syndrome is a genetic disorder in females. Coarctation of the aorta (narrowing of a part of the aorta) is a common congenital heart defect associated with Turner's syndrome. Transposition of the great vessels is a different congenital heart defect not typically linked to Turner's. Atrial septal defect (hole in the wall between the atria) is also not the one mainly associated. Marfan's syndrome is a separate genetic disorder affecting connective tissue, not related to Turner's in this context.
