Using stem cells to study rare growth disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at rare growth conditions (Silver-Russell, Beckwith-Wiedemann, and Temple syndrome) by creating lab cell models from patient information. It aims to help researchers better understand why these disorders happen and how they work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Silver-Russell syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, or Temple syndrome
- You are a minor or a young adult (treated in the study department)
- If you are a minor, your weight is at least 5 kg
- You can clearly agree to allow use of your personal data for the study

This study compares the methylation patterns (chemical tags on DNA that control gene activity) in people with certain growth disorders (like Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome, or Temple syndrome) to those with other genetic conditions. It aims to improve diagnosis for these rare conditions.
This study looks at how young adults aged 15–25 with rare genetic conditions (like certain bone, skin, hearing, or facial conditions) are doing in school, work, and social life. Researchers want to understand what helps or prevents young people with these conditions from being included in their communities.
This study is looking for people with rare, unexplained conditions that cause early intellectual disability and low muscle tone. Researchers want to study your cells and blood to try to find new genetic causes that standard DNA tests missed.
This study looks at how to create laboratory models of genetic diseases using stem cells made from people’s cells. It may help researchers understand disease causes and how treatments could work, using genetic patients (and some non-patient controls).
This study is for people who have a rare syndrome or rare congenital condition and are seen at a rare-disease clinic. It aims to better understand these conditions and how care works in a team setting, which may help guide future treatment decisions.
This study looks at genetic causes of skeletal (bone growth) disorders in people who show signs based on height and bone imaging. Genetic testing may help explain what’s behind the condition, especially when it seems inherited.
