ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how Turner Syndrome (TS) affects the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems in women. Researchers will look at 100 women with TS who have already been part of previous studies over the last 19 years. They will also include healthy women of similar ages as a comparison group. The goal is to explore how the unique features of TS might lead to heart and lymphatic issues and to find ways to help prevent or treat serious health problems related to these systems.

To be eligible for this study, participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of Turner Syndrome. Women who are pregnant or have certain medical issues that would prevent them from having an MRI (a type of detailed imaging scan) cannot participate. Those who join the trial can expect to undergo a series of tests to assess their heart and lymphatic health. This research is important because it aims to improve our understanding of TS and hopefully lead to better care for women living with this condition.
