Database study on facial and skull development in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study is building a database of medical information and images from children with certain conditions affecting the face and skull, such as craniosynostosis, achondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta. The goal is to better understand these conditions and improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have one of these conditions: craniosynostosis linked to FGFR signaling, achondroplasia/hypochondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, or Pierre Robin sequence.
- You must have had a CT or MRI scan of your face or skull as part of your medical care.
- You (or your parent/guardian) must agree to let leftover biological samples be stored in a research collection.
- You cannot join if you or your parents do not want your medical data reused for this research.

This study uses regular front and side facial photos to help doctors better understand facial features in people with genetic conditions or after surgery. It may help improve how we diagnose and care for these conditions.
This study follows children and adults with craniofacial (head/face) differences to learn how their growth changes over time. It also enrolls unaffected family members and healthy volunteers to compare what is “typical,” using scans and optional genetic testing.
This study looks at the skull bones and stitches (sutures) removed during surgery for craniosynostosis to learn more about their structure. It may help doctors understand better how to treat this condition.
This study tests a new treatment called ASO (antisense oligonucleotide) therapy on tissue samples from babies with syndromic craniosynostosis—a condition where skull bones fuse too early due to specific genetic changes. Researchers hope this approach could eventually help prevent or reduce the severity of this condition.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from children with bone or growth plate problems to build a research database. It aims to better understand these conditions and may help improve future treatments.
This study looks at medical issues that adults with fibrous dysplasia (a rare bone disease) affecting the face or skull may face. It uses existing medical data to understand how this condition affects people over time.
