This study is being done for children: • Early onset Scoliosis (EOS) Diagnosis The aim of this study is to understand the social factors (such as where a family lives) that may affect how well a child does now and later in life. Researchers believe that these social factors can affect the child's outcome, such as how well they do with spine bracing, casting, or surgery.

Turner Syndrome (TS), The Brain, and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): A study evaluating brain structure and function in adolescents and young adults with Turner syndrome who use hormone replacement therapy as compared to those without Turner syndrome
This study is for teen girls and young adult women: • Ages 14-21 years • With and without Turner syndrome...
This study is for teen girls and young adult women: • Ages 14-21 years • With and without Turner syndrome The goal of this study is to understand how hormones from the ovaries affect brain development. Every person is unique and the ovaries of some teens and young adults do not produce enough hormones. What researchers learn from this study could help the care team find better treatments for teens and young adults whose ovaries do not make enough hormones.
