To investigate whether sodium and potassium mutations are found in a cohort of patients with small fiber neuropathy, painful diabetic neuropathy (versus diabetes patients with no or only minor symptoms) and in patients with breast, ovarium or…
Primary objectives:- To investigate possible differences in driving performances between premanifest gene carriers, manifest HD, and control subjects.- To explore if different aspects of cognitive functioning might be a predictor of fitness to drive…
PROUD is a multicentre prospective study, using clinical factors in combination with additional tests with the aim to clarify more about the aetiology and pathogenesis of MS.
The main objective of this prospective population-based study of patients with proximal SMA in the Netherlands is to register SMA patients in the Netherlands in a socalled SMA-database to study prevalence and severity of SMA types 1-4, to perform…
The overall aim of this project is to elucidate the interaction between stress and epileptic seizures in childhood epilepsy. The specific aim of this study is to compare the possible differences in stress hormone regulation, hippocampal function and…
To determine if a marked change in the concentrations of one or more of the selected biomarker is evident before PUs are visible
The main objective of this study is to assess the effect of an acute cardiovascular event on the local and the systemic inflammatory state in humans with AMI as well as the reversibility of these effects after 3 months.
Explore difference in perforating artery pulsatility index between two patients groups with small vessel disease (history of lacunar infarct and deeply located haemorrhage) and healthy controls.
To gain further insight into the interaction and possibly shared pathophysiological mechanisms of female-specific cardiovascular risk factors and events we will quantify white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI and assess endothelial function in…
To detect ophthalmic differences between patients and controles. To detect (early) changes in the retina in (pre)symptomatic RVCL disease carriers, in order to find a *biomarker* for disease stage and progression.
To identify (clinical) features of MMN patients that predict a poor clinical disease course. Moge agressive IVIg regimen can be established is this subgroup to maintain functional status of the patient. To find domains in quality of life in MMN…

The current research is set to provide insight into the phenotypic characteristics of DSPD patients in terms of psychological characteristics, occurrence of co-morbidities, and behavioural characteristics such as bedtime routines and lifestyle, and…
The frontotemporal syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: screen, impact, imaging and pathology.
The main objectives are: 1. to develop a diagnostic tool for the assessment of the frontotemporal syndrome. 2. To investigate the structural and functional brain networks of ALS patients with and without a frontotemporal syndrome, in order to gain…
Primary Objective: To assess which measures of microvascular function on 7T MRI are affected in patients with CADASIL, relative to controls.
To study the role of brain metabolites and macromolecules in relationship to pathogenesis, structural brain changes and clinical phenotype of ALS. This will reveal underlying molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, structural brain changes and…
To determine the reproducibility and validity of specific outcome measures for skeletal and respiratory fatigability in subjects with SMA.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of (repeated) cast immobilization on the bone strength of the lower leg in patients with diabetes mellitus. In this study, bone strength is examined by cortex thickness in millimeters and density…
