Primary objectiveTo investigate the presence of plasma abnormalities in treated and untreated patients with ASMD to determine whether they can potentially serve as useful biomarker . Therefore we will determine- sphingolipids and *metabolites-…
(Primary) Determine whether measuring the expression level is a good functional test for confirming the genetic diagnosis in IRIDA by establishing the relation between the TMPRSS6 mRNA expression and the phenotype in IRIDA patients and their family…
Previous studies have suggested an association between FD and cognitive impairment but these were flawed either by lack of power, used variable assessment of cognitive functioning and/or merged results of different phenotypes and sexes. It is of…
To evaluate the prevalence of femoral head pathology in patients with MPS III.
The following research questions were formulated:• Does blood group P status (presence or absence of the 42C>T-SNP) correlate to GB3 content on fibroblasts and white blood cells of healthy controls?• Does blood group P status correlate to (…
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the difference in TICE in FHBL-patients as compared to unaffected controls, according to the previously developed stable isotope method with minor modifications (METC 10/092). This way we can prove the…
The objective of the study is to be able to determine the contribution of blood inorganic phosphate to the signal observed in skeletal muscle.
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the difference in TICE in FHBL-patients as compared to unaffected controls, according to the previously developed stable isotope method with minor modifications (METC 10/092). This way we can prove the…
1. To include the patients* point of view in the characterization and description of the mucopolysaccharidoses; and to compare between the different types of mucopolysaccharidoses.2. To assess *health damage* at the moment of diagnosis, in order to…
The primary aim of the present protocol is to determine the role of chenodeoxycholate for postprandial GLP-1 responses (and the resulting metabolic consequences) in humans.
To identify affected functional networks and underlying structural pathology of the cognition problems in galactosemia.
We would like to study whether aberrant heparansulfate synthesis in HME subjects leads to impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia and subsequent increased cardiovascular risk as well as impaired adrenal gland function when compared to unaffected…
We would like to evaluate the beneficial effects of fibrate treatment on muscle mitochondrial and cardiac function in patients with NLSDM.
To investigate whether single dosis of fecal therapy by infusion of allogeneic (post bariatric surgery donor feces in the bowel) or autologous (own feces) have differential effect on lipid-metabolism-mediated insulin resistance.
The main objective: to evaluate the prescribed intake of micronutrients and fatty acids from natural protein and amino acid mixtures, and to correlate it to blood levels of these micronutrients and fatty acids, in patients with PKU. Secondary…
To determine the frequency of symptoms and signs of a neuromuscular disorder (myopathy, neuropathy) in patients with haemochromatosis. To evaluate in these patients the impact of these symptoms and signs on the quality of life. To assess in patients…
To determine, by measuring cIMT's, whether the abnormal lipid profile of GD I carriers and patients is associated with atherosclerosis and an increased risk of CAD.
To investigate the prevalence of anemia in EPP patients, related to the severity of symptoms and to investigate the cause of this anemia.
1. What proportion of X-ALD carriers have symptoms en what are those symptoms (as evaluated by history, neurologic examination and electrophysiology)?2. At what age did symptoms fist manifest themselves and how is the progression of those symtpoms?3…
