Read our Ovarian Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether doctors can safely freeze and preserve gonad tissue (ovary or testis tissue) from young people who have a rare condition affecting sex development and need their gonads removed. The goal is to see if frozen tissue can be used later to restore fertility or hormone function. This is a pilot study, which means it's an early-stage test to see if the idea works safely.
Many young people with rare sex development conditions face infertility because their gonads don't work normally or need to be removed to prevent cancer. This treatment aims to give these patients a way to preserve their fertility and reproductive options before their gonads are removed.

If you qualify and enroll, your doctors will remove your gonad tissue as part of your standard medical care. After removal, the tissue will be carefully processed, tested, and frozen for long-term storage. You will not undergo any extra surgery beyond what your doctor has already recommended. The study team will follow up with you to monitor your health and safety.
