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.

In this study, the research team will use low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to temporarily change brain activity in a brain region that is known to be involved in chronic pain. Through this, the research team hopes to learn about how the brain area works in response to pain. There are main questions this study aims to answer: * The effect of LIFU to inhibit the posterior region of the insula (PI) compared to sham stimulation in individuals with chronic back pain (CBP) and widespread pain symptoms. * The effect of LIFU to PI compared to sham stimulation to reduce pain intensity and magnitude of the Neurologic Pain Signature (NPS) in response to evoked thermal pain. * The effect of LIFU to PI compared to sham stimulation to reduce pain intensity and magnitude of Tonic Pain Signature in response to tonic pain.
