Study population: Women who have submitted clinical samples for prenatal aneuploidy screening test with the finding of X mosaicism will be recruited from laboratories that offer cell-free DNA testing during pregnancy as well as nation-wide obstetricians and maternal-fetal-medicine specialists Potential participants are likely to be referred from specialists who care for them or will find the protocol through an internet search A control group of volunteers of appropriate age, ethnicity, BMI, SES and parity will be recruited using resources of the NIH Office of Patient Recruitment (OPR) and AlescoData and will be a matched to study participants.

Brief summary: Background:

Mosaicism is a condition in which cells within the same person have a different genetic makeup. Sometimes, a type of mosaicism called 45,X may not be discovered in a woman until she undergoes routine tests during pregnancy. Little is known about how 45,X mosaicism may affect a person s long-term health.

Objective:

This natural history study will look for health risks in people with 45,X mosaicism.

Eligibility:

People aged 18 to 99 years who during pregnancy were found to have 45,X mosaicism. Healthy volunteers are also needed.

Design:

Participants will stay in the clinic for 2 days. They will have many tests:

A physical exam, including measurements of the body.

A gynecological exam, including genital measurements. Photos may be taken, with consent.

Blood tests, with blood drawn over an 8-week period. An oral glucose test for diabetes may also be done.

Tests of heart function. Participants will have small stickers attached to wires place on their chest, arms, and legs.

Hearing tests.

Ultrasound exams, which use echoing sound waves to create images of organs such as the heart and kidneys.

Imaging scans including x-rays, MRI, and DXA. The DXA uses x-rays to measure bone density and body fat. Other types of scans will capture images of the liver.

Participants will complete 4 surveys with questions about their sexual function, anxiety, depression, and health.

Participants may remain in the study for 20 years. For 5 years, they will have a yearly follow-up by phone or email. They may have follow-up visits at the clinic every 5 years.

Detailed description: Study Description:

This is a deep phenotype study of women who are determined to have 45,X mosaicism as a secondary genomic finding following cfDNA sequencing during pregnancy.

Objectives:

* To define and describe a comprehensive phenotype of women with confirmed 45,X mosaicism initially found by cfDNA including cardiovascular, skeletal, metabolic, reproductive, audiometric, immunologic, and psychological functions.
* To compare the comprehensive phenotype of women with confirmed 45,X mosaicism with a control population (a. age and BMI-matched female controls without 45, X mosaicism at the initial visit and b. NHANES age-and BMI-matched female data for the applicable year.)
* To explore changes in phenotype for both 45,X mosaicism and control groups with somatic loss of X chromosome over time.

Endpoints:

Primary Endpoint: (i) Hypertension (as defined in 2017 by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA)

Secondary Endpoints:

* Cardiovascular:

  * Cardiac/coronary atherosclerosis
  * Cardiac function, valve assessment, aortic anatomy, endothelial function
* Skeletal:

* Metabolic:

  * Body fat distribution as per DXA
  * Anthropometrics; Body weight; Waist to hip ratio
  * Diabetes Mellitus

  * Dyslipidemia
  * Assessment of liver for fatty disease and fibrosis as per abdominal MRE/MRS
* Gynecologic and urologic:

  * Primary ovarian insufficiency, Infertility, Early menopause as per participant history
  * Sexual function (as assessed by scores of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the PROMIS(Registered Trademark) Sexual Function and Satisfaction Measures Version 2.0)
  * Ovarian and uterine imaging as per pelvic ultrasound.
  * Renal imaging as per renal ultrasound
* Obstetric:

  --Complications and outcomes of pregnancy as per participant history
* Audiometric:

  --Assessment of hearing loss
