Gene methylation study in growth disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at gene methylation patterns in people with certain growth conditions. It aims to better understand how these changes relate to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome, and Temple syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have had a specific genetic test for growth conditions such as Beckwith-Wiedemann, Silver-Russell, or Temple syndrome.
- If you are in the negative control group, you must have had genetic testing that found a known gene mutation causing a growth condition.
- You must have health insurance or be covered by a social security plan (not emergency medical aid).
- You or your parent/guardian must sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at DNA patterns in fetuses or children with rare genetic conditions. It aims to better understand how these patterns relate to diseases that start before birth, which could help with diagnosis and future care.
This study uses advanced DNA analysis to understand confusing genetic test results in people with brain or nerve diseases. It aims to improve diagnosis by reclassifying uncertain genetic findings.
This study looks for new genetic causes of certain “development disorders” that involve hormone problems and how the body develops at puberty. It may help families understand the root cause, which can guide future care and testing.
This study uses a new genetic technique to find hidden causes in people with multiple birth defects or intellectual disability who had standard genetic tests come back normal. It might help identify a genetic reason when other tests did not.
This study uses advanced genetic tests to find the cause of severe intellectual disability or related developmental disorders when standard tests found nothing. If you or your child qualify, the study may provide a clearer diagnosis and help guide care.
