Gonadal Tissue Cryopreservation for Fertility Preservation in Children with a Disorder of Sex Development

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

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.

Treatments
Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)
The study seeks to find out if removing gonadal tissue in adolescents and children at risk for losing fertility potential (the ability to have children) and who are scheduled to receive a gonadectomy (removal of gonads) for clinical purposes may preserve, or keep, their ability to have children in the future. Additionally, donated research tissue would be used to study long-term ways to preserve and restore reproductive function of children diagnosed with DSD
