UTHealth Turner Syndrome Research Registry

This study is creating a registry to better understand Turner Syndrome (TS), a genetic condition affecting women. Researchers are collecting genetic information from women with TS to learn why some develop heart problems like bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or thoracic aortic aneurysm. They will compare the genetic makeup of women with TS who have these heart conditions to those who don't. The goal is to identify genetic factors that put women with TS at higher risk for heart complications. This information could help doctors better monitor and care for women with TS in the future. The study plans to enroll 200 women with a diagnosis of Turner Syndrome.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any new treatments. It aims to enroll 200 women.
What's involved
You would provide blood and/or saliva samples after giving informed consent. Researchers will use these samples for genetic tests.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, bicuspid aortic valve and thoracic aortic aneurysm, will be measured at 10 years.
