Genetic Modifiers and Glycemic Variability in Turner Syndrome

Recruiting

This study is looking at glucose (blood sugar) patterns in participants with Turner Syndrome between the ages of 3-80 years old. This will be done by obtaining 2 hours frequent blood sampling by completing an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test and a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test. Participants will also wear a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks. Along with the OGTT and MMTT, participants are asked to provide a blood sample for DNA and RNA testing. Participant’s parents are asked to provide a saliva sample for DNA testing
