ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how certain changes in our genes, specifically those related to sex chromosomes, affect various health aspects like metabolism, heart health, and the immune system. The researchers are looking at two groups: one group of 160 patients with sex chromosome abnormalities, like Klinefelter Syndrome and Turner Syndrome, and a matched group of 160 people without these conditions. They will collect samples like blood and urine, and also perform tests on bones and liver to understand how these genetic differences influence health.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to have a documented sex chromosome abnormality. Once enrolled, participants can expect to answer questionnaires and undergo several tests, including scans of their bones and liver, as well as blood tests to check for various health markers. This research aims to uncover important connections between genetics and health, which could lead to improved understanding and treatment options for those with sex chromosome abnormalities. If you or a loved one are interested in participating, know that all genders are welcome, and the study is currently recruiting participants.
