This study tests vosoritide, a protein that stimulates bone growth, in 30 children with Noonan syndrome who are not growing well despite growth hormone treatment. The goal is to see if vosoritide can safely increase their growth rate over six months. Participants will receive one…

This study tests whether adjusting sex hormone levels with aromatase inhibitors can improve metabolic health and sperm production in men with Klinefelter syndrome. It also examines if adding semaglutide (a weight-loss drug) or hCG provides extra benefits. The trial involves 150 m…

This study tests a 16-week inclusive exercise program called PACE for adults with intellectual disability. Participants will attend fitness classes, meet with coaches, and use a web dashboard to set goals. The trial includes 376 people and will measure daily steps and moderate-to…

This study offers boys aged 0-17 the chance to freeze testicular tissue before undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiation that could cause permanent infertility. The tissue is stored for potential future use to achieve pregnancy. Researchers will track whether transplan…

This study is tracking 2,600 Chinese children with growth disorders who are receiving a long-acting growth hormone injection. The goal is to see how well it works and how safe it is over the long term in real-world settings. Researchers will measure changes in height and look for…

This study looks at two ways of taking progesterone for teens with Turner syndrome who are on hormone replacement therapy. One group takes progesterone for 12 days each month, the other takes it every day. Researchers will track bleeding patterns and how the teens feel, to see wh…

This study aims to find hidden genetic changes in people with disorders of sex development (DSD) whose standard genetic tests came back normal. Researchers will use a new technique called Optical Genome Mapping on a blood sample from 20 participants. The goal is to see if this me…

This study compares two surgical methods for treating gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue): a newer endoscopic technique using small incisions versus traditional open surgery. Researchers will follow 100 men aged 18 to 60 for up to 12 months after surgery to see which metho…

This study tests whether a guided journaling program can reduce anxiety in parents of children with urogenital conditions like differences of sex development (DSD) or hypospadias. Twenty parents will complete five writing prompts over several weeks and then share their experience…

This study at the National Institutes of Health is looking at 1,000 adults with known or suspected hormone gland (endocrine) disorders. The goal is to better understand these conditions and help train doctors. Participants may receive tests, treatments, or surgery as part of thei…

This study follows 650 people aged 8 to 99 with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) to better understand their long-term health. Researchers will track hormones, bone density, heart health, metabolism, and tumor risk through regular check-ups and scans. No treatments are being …

This study enrolls up to 15,000 children with known or suspected endocrine or metabolic disorders, along with their family members. Researchers will collect medical records, blood, saliva, and other samples to identify genetic changes linked to these conditions. The goal is to be…

This study looks at whether freezing ovarian tissue can help preserve fertility in people aged 2-21 with conditions like Turner syndrome, galactosemia, or premature ovarian insufficiency. Participants may have surgery to remove and freeze a gonad, with a small piece used for rese…

This study is observing 400 people aged 12 and older who have noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or are at risk for it. NCPH is a liver condition that increases blood pressure in the liver's blood vessels without causing cirrhosis, and often has no early symptoms. Researcher…

This study aims to create a large genetic database of people with Turner syndrome, a rare condition where a person is missing all or part of an X chromosome. Researchers want to compare the genes of women with Turner syndrome who are fertile with those who are not. Up to 500 part…

This study enrolls adults with known or suspected endocrine (hormone gland) disorders, such as diabetes or thyroid disease, to help researchers learn more about these conditions. Participants will undergo medical exams, blood and imaging tests, and possibly genetic testing. The m…

This study is collecting medical data, blood, saliva, and tissue samples from up to 11,000 children, teens, and adults with known or suspected gynecologic conditions. The goal is to create a large database to better understand these conditions, including disorders of sex developm…

This study interviews 24 men with prostate cancer to learn how they feel about breast-related side effects, such as gynecomastia (enlarged breasts), from treatment. The goal is to understand what matters most to patients when choosing therapies. Results will help design a future …

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…

This study looks at DNA methylation patterns (chemical tags on DNA) in fetuses with rare genetic diseases. Researchers will analyze DNA from amniotic fluid and tissue samples to create reference signatures. The goal is to improve diagnosis of these conditions before birth. The st…

This study is collecting information from 520 children and teens in Italy with 46, XY DSD, a rare condition where a person's chromosomes don't match their physical sex development. Researchers will look at medical records to understand how common different features are and how th…

This study aims to understand why people with Turner syndrome often lose their hearing. Researchers will look at genetic and epigenetic markers in 150 adults aged 18-60. Participants will have hearing, balance, blood, and imaging tests. The goal is to find new ways to treat or de…

This study follows 93 women with Turner syndrome who wanted to become parents. Researchers will track how many succeeded through natural pregnancy, egg donation, or adoption. The goal is to understand the real-world chances of parenthood for these women.

This study is testing whether using rapid genetic sequencing can help doctors diagnose and treat birth defects in newborns in intensive care. Researchers will enroll 2,000 babies and compare death rates, disability rates, and genetic findings. The goal is to see if personalized t…
