LOPEZ, Marcela Carolina y AGUILAR, María Jose. Social vulnerability in turners syndrome: genes-environment interactions. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2009, vol.29, n.2, pp. 318-329. ISSN 1414-9893.
In this work we describe the theoretical foundations that allow consider the Turners syndrome as a sensitive genetic model in which it is possible to analyze associations between psychological characteristics and genetic and environmental factors. Research in this area would elucidate mechanisms of environmental risk and permit to understand the degree of vulnerability that women with the syndrome present. The Turner syndrome is a non-inherited genetic disorder, characterized by total or partial deletion of the chromosome X in females. The study of the social dysfunction that women with this syndrome present, that is, the ability to interact with the environment and the quality of the links has important implications in understanding how the environment acts on psychological development and how this in turn is affected by the genetic factors that operate in interaction.
