The family with the TRα2 premature stop enables us to investigate the biological role of the orphan wild-type TRα2 and the consequences of its dysfunction. The primary objectives of this proposal are (i) to search for a biological function of TRα2…
The purpose of this trial is primarily to assess the efficacy of inhaled mannitol compared with a true placebo in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 17 years.We hypothesize that inhaled mannitol will improve the overall health and hygiene of…
1. Validation - of an independent geneset - of TLA technology as a new DNA diagnostic test for complete sequencing of selected genes.2. The search for structural chromosome changes in patients with ROW disease who where tested negative for mutations…
Primary: To compare the reduction in frequency of partial-onset seizures on each of two trough ranges of everolimus (3-7 ng/mL and 9-15 ng/mL) versus placebo in patients with TSC who are taking one to three AEDs. Key secondary: Ability to completely…
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 (…
(i) To compare the DBF response to capsaicin between cystinosis patients, homozygous and heterozygous for the 57-kb deletion, and matched controls.(ii) To compare the skin sensitivity response after capsaicin application between cystinosis patients,…
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate whether the new 20 mg capsule of Orfadin® (nitisinone) has a similar bioavailability in the body (gives the same concentration in the blood) as two of the marketed capsules of 10 mg. The secundary…
Objectives: 1. To investigate the types of antitrombin deficiency in these families2. To find the mutations in our families/patients with antitrombin deficiency.3. To establish the risk of VTE due to these mutations and subtypes.(comparing…
1. To obtain knowledge about the nutritional status of adult patients with mitochondrial disease and the determinants that contribute to this.2. Evaluate the effect of dietary intervention in adult patients with mitochondrial disease on nutritional…
The primary objective to our study is assessing functional outcome, quality of life, and genetic mutations in patients with a cloacal malformation. Functional outcome:- Colorectal functiono Objective: assessing colorectal function through the use of…
A Cross-sectional Study of Renal Function in Treatment-naïve, Young Male Patients with Fabry Disease
The objectives of this study are (1) to document renal function and other Fabry disease manifestations across age in treatment-naïve, young male patients with Fabry disease; and (2) to provide a reference group for comparison with interventional…
We aim to increase patient compliance by extending the existing treatment protocol of (oral or intravesical) anticholinergics plus application of CIC with the addition of bladder pressure measurement performed at home during CIC plus access to an…
Main: To confirm the findings of our previous, explorative study that the overall FXI plasma levels in patients with menorrhagia are lower than in controls. Secondary: To establish the prevalence of FXI mutations/polymorfisms in patients with…
To develop and examine the test-retest reliability of a wheelchair skills test for children
We aim to assess gene expression patterns in cilia-producing cells from healthy controls to develop a candidate gene list for PCD.
The specific objectives are:1. What is the difference of in vitro CFTR function in CF patients with either mild (compound heterozygote A455E) mutations or severe (homozygote F508del) mutations with mild or severe clinical disease? 2. What is the…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of different doses of TA 8995, a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor, on the elevation of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) and reduction of low density…
To investigate whether it is feasible to perform a large national implementation study in which community based midwives in the Netherlands use a pulse oximeter for screening newborns for CHD.
Primary ObjectiveThe primary objective is to compare the annualized rates of bleeding episodes (ABR)between subjects receiving a prophylactic regimen of BAX 855 with an on-demandtreatment regimen.Secondary ObjectivesThe key secondary objective is to…
