Overview

FACE.S-4-KIDS is an ambitious database project addressing the scientific question of the variable expression of craniofacial disorders in humans, to reach a sound clinical management (diagnosis, prognosis), and the establishment of personalised treatment plans.

Description

FACE.S-4-KIDS takes advantage of large cohorts of well-characterized and genotyped craniofacial anomaly patients, clinical departments (medical, surgical and imaging) with dysmorphology experts, and leading basic science laboratories, all located on a single site, and generating vast amounts of data - patient records, imaging, photographs, genomics, models - but lacking a unifying structure allowing multimodal assessments.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria for patients:

  1. Patients suffering from one of the following pathologies:

    craniostenosis linked to FGFR signaling, achondroplasia / hypochondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, Pierre Robin sequence (with or without anatomical markers).

  2. Patients who may or may not have benefited from genome sequencing as part of their care and who (or holders of parental authority where applicable) have consented to the conservation of the remains of their biological samples in one of these collections:
    • Chondroplasia and craniostenosis,
    • Constitutional Bone Diseases,
    • Developmental anomalies.
  3. Patients who have undergone craniofacial imaging (CT or MRI) as part of their care.

Inclusion Criteria for controls:

  1. Patients who have consulted the Genetics, Pediatrics or Maxillofacial Surgery Departments at Necker, with none of these pathologies:

    FGFR-related craniosynostoses Chondroplasia / hypochondroplasia Osteogenesis imperfecta Pierre Robin sequence (with or without anatomical marker)

  2. Patients who have benefited from genome sequencing as part of their care and who have (or holders of parental authority where applicable) consented to the conservation of the remains of their biological samples in the "Infectious Diseases" collection .
  3. Patients who have undergone craniofacial imaging (CT or MRI) as part of their treatment.

Non-inclusion Criteria:

Opposition of the patient or his parents to the reuse of their data from care in this study

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
