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…
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…
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 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…
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.
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"…
The aims of this study are the ascertainment, characterization, and longitudinal follow-up of a large cohort of Dutch families segregating Parkinson*s disease, including affected and unaffected first-degree relatives. The cohort will be…
- Can early Botox-injections in the bladder of patients with meningomyelocèle (MMC) prevent deterioration of the bladder and renal function?- Can early Botox-injections in the bladder of patients with meningomyelocèle (MMC) decrease the need for an…
To investigate whether the peripheral nervous system is involved in paroxysmal neurological conditions.
- 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…
1. To identify presymptomatic and symptomatic profiles including (early) disease stages and early biomarkers of disease progression and to elucidate pathophysiological mechanisms, we will investigate RVCL patients at different ages (both symptomatic…
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…
1. To investigate the differences between healthy older adults with and without cognitive complaints (SCI) and MCI patients in: a) resting state functional connectivity; b) brain structure; and c) cognitive function. 2. To investigate longitudinal…
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…
Gain insight in the anatomy and organisation of the sacral plexus in children with NB and congenital spinal or sacral anomalies. Possible findings can be compared with the results of the healthy subjects, in order to be able to relate findings to…
1. To assess neuroimaging hallmarks of RVCL disease stages;2. To evaluate cerebrovascular reactivity as a biomarker of endothelial (dys)function in RVCL patients, in migraine patients and healthy controls;3. To identify shared pathophysiological…
