Brief Summary:
Researchers would like to determine normal ranges for hormone levels and to learn more about the genetics involved in hormone production and action Researchers will take samples of blood urine saliva and stool from healthy children ages 5-17 in order to study different aspects of hormones
Establishing a range of normal hormone levels in children will make diagnosing illnesses with abnormal levels of hormones much easier Hormone levels in the body can change throughout the day By collecting samples at different times researchers hope to learn more about the normal daytime and nighttime patterns of hormone secretion Because some hormone levels change with body size researchers will also take measurements of patients body composition
This study will involve children and observe them as inpatients or as outpatients TAB

Detailed Description:
We wish to obtain blood urine saliva and stool specimens from healthy children ages 2-18 years for use in establishing the normal ranges of levels of hormones and the variations in genes that are important for hormones to act Such hormone values are extremely important to allow endocrinologists to determine when hormone levels are truly abnormal in children suspected of an illness Because the values of some hormones change with body size we will obtain measurements of body composition when studying such hormones Children participating in this study may be studied in the outpatient clinic at most 2 blood draws or as inpatients on the pediatric ward for frequent blood sampling using an intravenous line over a 24-hour period Other studies that may be performed as part of this study include ultrasound examinations of the thyroid adrenal ovaries or testes and x-ray of the hand and wrist for bone age determination
