10 Symptoms of Turner Syndrome

9. Nails Turned Upward

Another cosmetic issue that Turner syndrome causes is nail disfiguration. Most people have rounded nails that slope downward, curving around the finger. Females with Turner syndrome have nails that turn upwards in a bowl shape, angling away from the fingers. This typically does not create much physical difficulty, although it does make the nails more susceptible to breakage and chipping. However, young people especially may feel self-conscious about the structure of their nails, especially if they have other physical deformities such as short fingers or puffy hands that further set them apart from their peers.
