Measuring brain iron in children with BPAN
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure iron levels in the brains of children with BPAN. The information may help doctors understand BPAN better and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 5 and 18 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of BPAN (with a WDR45 gene change).
- You and your child must be able to speak French and be covered by social security.
- Your child must not have any metal implants or devices that make MRI unsafe (like a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or braces).
- Your child must not have an allergy to anesthesia medications.

This study uses special MRI scans to measure how iron builds up in the brain as people age. It may help researchers understand what iron changes mean for healthy (non-disease) aging.
This study fine-tunes MRI (brain imaging) methods and checks brain signals during testing in both healthy people and people with medical conditions. It may help improve how doctors use MRI to understand brain and nervous system changes.
This study uses MRI scans of the brain to help doctors better understand and diagnose inherited conditions that affect children's brains. It may help find clearer signs of these diseases on imaging, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
This study uses MRI techniques to measure natural chemical “metabolites” in the brain and muscle. You may be able to join if you’re generally healthy and can safely complete a long MRI scan.
This trial tests an imaging method that measures brain signals without using X-rays. It may help researchers understand brain activity in healthy adults, newborns, premature babies, and pregnant people by testing whether the scan can be done reliably and safely.
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
