Genetic study for certain childhood hormone and development disorders
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for new genetic causes of certain “development disorders” that involve hormone problems and how the body develops at puberty. It may help families understand the root cause, which can guide future care and testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) have one of these conditions: congenital growth hormone deficiency, a puberty development disorder, gonadal dysgenesis or absence of testes, primary ovarian failure, or a disorder of sex development
- If you are not the affected person, you may be eligible if you’re a close family member related to someone with one of the conditions above
- The cause should not be mainly environmental or due to an autoimmune (immune-system) problem
- Be prepared to share family medical history and genetic information for study purposes
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for genetic causes of differences in how a baby or child’s sex organs develop, including hypospadias. You may be able to join if doctors can’t find a reason using standard testing.
This study looks at whether certain genetic brain development conditions affect hormone production in the body. It may help find out if people with these conditions have low sex hormones.
This study looks at families to understand inherited (genetic or family-related) reasons some people have delayed puberty or develop puberty abnormally. It may help doctors better figure out the cause of low sex hormone levels and related hormone problems.
This study looks at how the body’s growth signals (growth hormone and related proteins) work in children. It may help researchers understand growth differences in kids who are healthy or have certain growth-related conditions.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) causes of certain hormone and reproductive conditions, including Kallmann syndrome and cleft lip/palate. You might be asked for medical and family history and possibly a DNA sample, helping researchers find what drives these conditions.
This study evaluates children (and sometimes relatives) who may have hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions. It helps doctors better understand these problems by doing a clinical evaluation.
