Summary

Background:

Turner syndrome (TS) is caused by the partial or complete absence of one of the two X

chromosomes in all cells or a portion of cells. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with TS and their families are not routinely counseled about fertility issues and options. Researchers want to learn more about the attitudes of AYAs with TS and their parents or guardians regarding future fertility.

Objective:

To create and distribute a survey for AYAs with TS and their parents or guardians that will improve understanding about their attitudes toward fertility, fertility preservation, and options for building a family.

Eligibility:

Female AYAs aged 12-25 years with TS, and parents or guardians of AYAs with TS.

Design:

Participants will be put into 3 focus groups: females ages 12-17 with TS; females ages 18-25 with TS; and parents or guardians of AYAs with TS. Each focus group session will be held via Zoom. Participants can use video or just audio for the session. They will use their first name. If they prefer, they can use a pseudonym. Each group will meet once. The session will last 90 minutes.

Participants will receive a draft of the survey. The survey questions ask about fertility and pregnancy. Participants will evaluate the usefulness and relevance of each question. They will be asked if any question should be changed. The survey will be finalized based on their feedback. The final survey will be distributed through TS groups.

Participation will last for 1 day....
