I am not sure if there are any people here who meet the criteria 5-25 but,perhaps you may know of someone.

Brain Imaging Study of Klinefelter Syndrome, Triple X Syndrome, and
other Sex Chromosome Variations
Jay N. Giedd, M.D., Principal Investigator
The Child Psychiatry Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health
is conducting a study of the effects of sex chromosomes on brain
development. The goal of this study is to determine whether brain-imaging
studies of
children with sex chromosome variations will help uncover core
biological features of these chromosomal conditions.
Female and male volunteers ages 5-25 with any sex chromosome variation
(XXX, XXY, XYY, XXYY, XXXY, XXXXY) are needed to participate in this
study. Participation involves coming to the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) in
Bethesda, Maryland (just outside of Washington D.C.) for a one-day
visit (Tuesdays), which will include:
. an interview
. a brief physical exam
. cognitive testing
. a blood draw for genotyping
. a 15-20 minute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan (the
MRI scan provides detailed images of the brain without the use of
radiation)
We also ask that the child and parents return 2 years after the first
visit for a follow-up MRI. Children with braces on their teeth will be
asked to wait until their braces are removed before participating in the
study due to the interference that braces cause in MRI images.
For participants who live outside of the Washington D.C. area,
transportation and lodging for a 2-night stay will be provided for the child
and two parents. In addition, each participant will receive a summary of
test results and a souvenir image of his or her brain.
