Gonadal Tissue Cryopreservation for Fertility Preservation in Children with a Disorder of Sex Development
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: DSD, 46,XY, DSD, Ovotesticular, DSD, Sex Chromosome, Disorders of Sex Development, Disorder of Sex Development, 46,XY, Disorder of Sex Development, 46,Xy, Cbx2-Related
In brief
The purpose of this study is to offer gonadal tissue freezing and storage to children who are diagnosed with a disorder of sex development (DSD), who are at increased risk of infertility and certain malignancies (cancer). This study involves the storage of gonadal tissue that is being removed for medical reasons (e.g. prevention of cancer development). It includes the processing and freezing of this gonadal tissue, hopefully for potential future use. The tissue will then be stored long-term until the child wishes to try to use the tissue.
