Clinical and Basic Investigations Into Known and Suspected Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation
Background Proteins, fats, and other molecules are the body s building blocks. Many of these molecules must have sugars, or chains of sugars, attached to work properly. People with congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) cannot attach these sugars or sugar chains properly. A child or adult with a CDG can …
Uncovering Genes Behind Cartilage Tumors and Vascular Anomalies Using Genomic Sequencing
Background Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome (MS) are rare disorders that increase the risk of cancers in cartilage tissue. These tumors can lead to severe skeletal deformities beginning in childhood. People with OD or MS are also at an increased risk of blood vessel disorders and specific cancers. Researchers …
A Prospective Natural History and Outcome Measure Validation Study of Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes

Predicting Future Errors During Skill Performance
Background Many tasks people do every day require a series of individual movements. Control over these movements is called motor skills. But even highly skilled people can make mistakes. Researchers have found that they can predict when a person will make a mistake 0.1 second before it happens. Now, they …
Neuroimaging and Neuropsychological Outcomes in Urea Cycle Disorders
In proximal urea cycle disorders (UCD), particularly ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD), hyperammonemia (HA) causes increased brain glutamine (Gln) which perturbation is thought to be at the core of the neurological injury. In contrast, in distal UCD such as citrullinemia (argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency; (ASSD) and argininosuccinic aciduria (argininosuccinate lyase deficiency); (ASLD) …
The Effect of Sex Steroid Replacement Therapy in the Hypogonadism and Transgender Active-Duty Population
It has been known that both estrogen and testosterone are the major sex steroids regulating bone metabolism and other physiological changes in both male and female, respectively. In postmenopausal women, osteoporosis is a major concern secondary to the lack of estrogen. These patients also experience a number of physiological changes …
CtDNA Based MRD Testing for NAC Monitoring in TNBC
A prospective, multicenter, observational study to evaluate the correlation of Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) detection using circulating tumor DNA guided test to pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in stage I-III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Results from this study aim to improve MRD detection and disease outcomes …
A Study to Assess Growth in Children With Idiopathic Short Stature
Study 111-903 will generate baseline growth data in children with ISS by collecting growth measurements and other variables of interest.
Psychological Treatments for Youth With Severe Irritability.
Background When children have severe irritability and temper outbursts, they can be so cranky or angry that it leads to problems at home, in school, and with friends. This is called Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) and there have been no psychological treatments developed specifically for children with this problem. …
