Background:
Gynecologic conditions are those that are related to the reproductive system. They can be reproductive gland disorders or reproductive system tumors. They can also be inborn anomalies of the reproductive tract. Researchers want to gather data over time from a large group of young people with these conditions.
Objective:
To create a database about child and teenage gynecologic conditions.
Eligibility:
Participants of any age with known or suspected pediatric and adolescent gynecologic conditions, and their adult family members
Design:
Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records.
Participants may have a medical history and physical exam.
Participants will have blood drawn using a needle. The blood will be used for genetic tests.
Participants will have saliva collected. They will spit into a small plastic container. Or their spit will be absorbed from their mouth using a small sponge. The saliva will be used for genetic tests.
Participants may have samples collected from their vagina. A small cotton swab will be used to gather the samples. This procedure is optional.
If participants have a surgery related to their condition, a small tissue sample will be taken. It will be stored for future research.
Participants may complete optional surveys. These surveys ask about their physical and emotional health. They can choose not to answer any of the questions.
Researchers will collect medical data from participants standard tests. Such tests may include blood and urine tests, X-rays, nuclear medicine scans, and other tests. Data will also be collected from standard treatments they may receive.
Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
Participants with known or suspected pediatric and adolescent gynecologic conditions of any age are eligible for this protocol.
Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
Any medical, physical, psychiatric, or social conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigators, would make participation in this protocol not in the best interest of the patient, will exclude participation. Patients who are critically ill, unstable, or with severe organ failure that may affect/limit the evaluation and place unsustainable demands on Clinical Center or NICHD resources will be excluded.
Pregnant family members
Pediatric and adolescent patients with gynecologic conditions and their family members that would provide clinical information related to the diagnosis of a proband.
