To determine the reproducibility and validity of specific outcome measures for skeletal and respiratory fatigability in subjects with SMA.
Objective of this study is to determine if Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) measurements are a reliable measure of the severity of neurological impairment in patients with X-ALD and ZSD and therefore if OCT is an acceptable "surrogate"…
Here we will generate iPS cells from patients with genetic neurodevelopmental disorders and (related) healthy control individuals, that can be used to generate in vitro disease models to further study the mechanisms behind these disorders.
The main purpose of this study is to find out whether EMDR is a safe and effective treatment to reduce the symptoms of PTSD in people with mild intellectual disability and borderline intellectual functioning. In addition, it is expected to reduce…
The primary objective is to study if quantitative (3- and 7-Tesla) MRI protocols (MRI perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and chemical shift imaging (CSI)) are able to detect phenotype conversion earlier than conventional MRI. Results will be…
The primary objective is to measure the longitudinal changes of PDE10A enzyme availability in the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus of Huntington*s Disease Gene Expansion Carrier (HDGECs) by comparison of the follow-up and initial Positron…
The primary objective is to assess neuropsychological function in X-ALD patients without active cerebral demyelinating disease. Data of minors will be compared to matched healthy controls. Data of adults will be compared to reference values. The…
To explore the use of exome sequencing in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with severe microcephaly
The main aim of this project is to identify genetic and metabolic risk factors for mild MR and borderline intelligence.
The objective is to describe the nature and underlying (neuromuscular en biomechanical) factors of dysphagia in different neuromuscular diseases in relation to different consistencies of food. Identifying the contributing factors are starting points…
The primary objective is to measure the availability of the PDE10A enzyme in Huntington*s Disease (HD)gene expansion carriers (HDGECs) by estimating and comparing the distribution volume (VT) of the radioligand [18F]MNI-659 in the striatum (caudate…
Our objective is to obtain insight into whether and how the visual and auditory systems of hemispherectomized patients have adapted after brain damage and brain surgery in early life. For this purpose we will perform psychophysical tests and (…
The aims of the proposed study are (1) to test the reliability of knee moment-angle measurements, (2) to obtain insight how muscle and tendon characteristics in children with CP contribute to the limitations in range of motion (ROM) of the knee and…
Objective 1To describe the course and underlying mechanisms of dysphagia in children with congenital myopathy (from 6 months to 12 years)Objective 2To formulate recommendations for early detection, diagnostic assessment , treatment and advices for…
To investigate the underpinnings of ADHD and its persistence into adulthood: Through studying genetic factors, in combination with genomic, microbiome, cell-based, neuroimaging, neuropsychological and psychiatric assessment we aim to gain more…
The primary objective is to identify clinical outcome measures in OPMD patients to support the future development of treatment strategies for OPMD. The secondary objectives are:• To identify molecular biomarkers for OPMD in biofluids to monitor…
To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) on a 3 Tesla MRI system to visualize the spinal cord in SMA patients and to investigate motor connectivity in vivo in patients with SMA.
Our general objective is to find out whether impaired communication within networks of specific brain regions underlies the cognitive control- and social problems of individuals with NF1. It is very important to examine these relations in children…
1. We will recruit 6 probands who experience cerebellar movement disorders with spinocerebellar ataxia features such as uncoordinated movement (i.e. asthenia, asynergy, delayed reaction time and dyschronometria) in limbs and organs such as the eyes…
- To assess the burden of disease of congenital CMV infection in the Netherlands at the age of 5 to 6 years through the assessment of the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss due to congenital CMV infection.- To establish the burden of disease…
