The main objective is to pinpoint the biological pathways that set long-term risk of CVD and NDI when epigenetically disturbed during fetal development by (1) establishing a longitudinal cohort of MC twins, (2) defining epigenetic alterations…
Primary objectives:To prospectively assess longitudinal changes in Proteolipid Protein 1 (PLP1) and additional disease-related biomarkers in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and blood and evaluate their utility in support of the development of therapies…
To evaluate the performance of a *genotype first approach* (WES-based panel analysis) in diagnostics of genetic predisposition in children with cancer or neoplasms, compared to the current *phenotype first approach* (standard of care). In particular…
Estimate key transmission parameters of SARS-CoV-2 in Europe from observing within household virus spread and seroconversion of household members, and to characterize the views and experiences of households regarding perceptions, practices regarding…
Primary: Associate acquisition of pneumococcal colonisation with levels of pre-existing polysaccharide specific memory B cells. Secondary: a) To validate the use of synthetic absorptive matrices (SAM) for detection of other (non-pneumococcal)…
To quantify the strength and direction of interactions between important respiratory virus infections in young children
Primary objective: 1. To identify the components in human milk (e.g. nutrients, oligosaccharides, fatty acids and (pathogen specific) immunoglobulins) that have a protective effect against respiratory tract infections during the first year of life.…
The main objective of the study is to dissect the genetic and stress-based mechanisms on the development of pediatric heart failure in congenital heart disease (ConHD) with the use of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomycoytes (iPSC-CMs).…
HSCT cohort:* -To investigate the relationship between IFNγ levels and IFNγ activity by measuring CXCL9 levels and the risk of graft failure* -To investigate the relationship between IFNγ levels and IFNγ activity by measuring CXCL9 levels and the…
Brain tumors: Characterize and quantify changes in immune parameters during disease in patients with a CNS malignancyAML: Characterize and quantify changes in immune parameters and immunotherapeutic targets during disease in pediatric patients with…
This cohort study aims to explain why some children develop well and others fail to thrive in society. To this purpose, we examine how neurocognitive development mediates the association between developmental changes in biological, child-related and…
The MyKids study is a biological study towards the molecular profiling of pediatric NRSTS, the development of NRSTS tumoroid cultures, the establishment of liquid biopsy biomarkers and the molecular profiling of post-treatment tissue samples. The…
Primary objective: To obtain a detailed immunological profile of children presenting to Dutch hospitals with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection or with a SARS-CoV-2 related post-infectious inflammatory syndrome. Secondary objectives: (1) To correlate the…
The SILVER study aims to give insight into the half-life of maternally acquired antibodies in preterms and the foetus to mother transfer function. These findings have implications for understanding infectious disease susceptibility, vaccine…
The overall aim of the SIOP 2016 UMBRELLA protocol is to harmonize the clinical relevant standarddiagnostic procedures for all paediatric renal tumours within SIOP and to provide imaging studies andbiomaterial from all of these patients, to find new…
The aim of this study is to determine the known and unknown pathogens of reactive arthritis in children between six months to 18 years old. We will use a protocolized approach of diagnostic testing in order to develop an evidence based clinical…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of hypoglycemia in adult and pediatric patients with GSD III. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of various muscle strength and function measures to…
Primary objective: To improve outcome prediction in sFGR by developing a prediction model at the time of sFGR diagnosis and by evaluating specific ultrasound parameters throughout the pregnancy. Secondary objectives: - To increase our knowledge of…
Connection Interrupted: Genetic causes and clinical characteristics of hereditary optic neuropathies
The goal of this study is to identify the genetic causes underlying hereditary optic neuropathies and establish genotype-phenotype correlations. This will lead to more reliable prognosis predictions, better genetic counselling and hopefully form a…
Integrating genomic (WES/WGS) and other -omics technology in order to find the genetic cause, in 500 patients (children and adults) with an unexplained metabolic phenotype in whom standard care (genetic and metabolic evaluation) did not provide a…
