The primary objective of the proposed study is to investigate whether bumetanide therapy indeed reduces autistic symptomatology. Important secondary goals of this project are to determine whether bumetanide will improve specific behavioral,…
The main objective of this study is to determine the language representation in the brain of children with SLI and 22q11DS.
Primary ObjectiveTo investigate changes of CSF proteins over time using continuous CSF sampling for 36 hours, including but not limited to A*1/x-42, A* 1/x-40, A* 1/x-38 and A* 1/x-37 in subjects with MCI or AD. Secondary Objectives1. To investigate…
The main objective of this study is to determine the neural correlates of apathy. These neural correlates will be compared with the neuropsychological tests At a later stage, the predictive value of the neural correlates will also be assessed.
To investigate whether the occurrence and severity of neurological withdrawal symptoms during a discontinuation trajectory of antipsychotics used for challenging behaviours in people with intellectual disability is associated with achievement of…
The aim of the study is to determine whether prenatal and current exposure to environmental chemicals is associated with developmental outcome in adolescents. We will investigate whether this exposure is associated with the thyroid hormone…
The aim of the study is to understand the nutritional status of people with complex multiple disabilitiest through measurement of body composition and nutritients.The primary objective of the study is:What percentage of people with complex multiple…
1) to gain insight in the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to intellectual disability and 2) to create a model system which allows screening of therpeutic interventions for efficacy.
The main objective of the study is to reach an etiological diagnosis in as many cases of a selected group of MR patients. The aim is to do so in at least 15-20% of hitherto unexplained MR.Also an objective is the establishment of a genetic-…
The present study aims at exploring a visuo-tactile mirroring mechanism in patients with autism. Furthermore, the relationship between neural tactile simulation processes, empathic abilities, and symptom severity in the social domain will be…
To investigate the relation between the amyloid metabolism (as measured by plasma Abeta1-40 en 1-42) and the incidence of dementia in DS patients and the investigate whether there is interaction with vascular or genetic factors with respect to this…
Our project focuses on the function of transporters and deiodinases in the (dys)regulation of intracellular T3 levels in patients with psychomotor retardation and abnormal serum thyroid hormone levels. The main objectives of our study are:1. To…
1. Define the clinical spectrum in female carriers of creatine transporter defect. 2. Correlate the clinical phenotype with X-inactivation studies.
The primary goal of this research project is the identification of genes involved in causing mental retardation. These genes will be part of genetic networks that play a role in normal brain development and function. With up-to-date bioinformatic…
The purpose of the present study is to try to classify autistic children into distinct subgroups, by clinical morphological examination. We mainly want to answer the following questions: 1) Is there an increased prevalence of minor anomalies in…
The primary objective of the study is to test the effectiveness of bumetanide across the whole spectrum of sensory processing disorders within ASD, ADHD and/or epilepsy. We also want to determine which subgroups (high/low IQ, comorbidities or not)…
Our research aims to establish informative tools in the laboratory for studying the molecular and cellular pathways that are altered in SETBP1 disorder.
Primary objective: To evaluate whether intellectual disability and facial dysmorphology are associated with an increased clinical diagnostic yield of genetic testing among patients with a psychiatric illness.Secondary objective: To investigate the…
1) Assess the whole genome sequence (WGS) and clinical profile of the MPX families to identify how rare and common genetic variants interact to produce shared versus distinct NDDs and clinical features in individuals, or different combinations of…
