Methylation patterns in growth disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had genetic testing for a growth disorder, and either your methylation results are normal (as a control) or you have a confirmed diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome, or Temple syndrome.
- You are covered by a health insurance plan (like social security) or are a beneficiary; AME is not accepted.
- You or your parents/guardians can sign a consent form.
- You are not under any legal restriction that prevents you from receiving study information.

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 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 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 uses a new technique called optical mapping to better understand chromosome changes found in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. It aims to give clearer answers to families about these genetic findings.
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 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.
