Standard cytogenetics (CBA +/- FISH) is of diagnostic and prognostic interest in Ph- MPN. However, its value is limited by the low frequency of detected abnormalities. The development of tools to increase the sensitivity of detection of chromosomal alterations is therefore particularly adapted to these pathologies. Optical genome mapping (OGM) is a high resolution "long read" technique that allows the identification of structural and copy number variations at the whole genome level. Several recent studies suggest that OGM is a future tool for cytogenetic characterization of haematological disorders. Its ability to describe structural abnormalities, including balanced ones, represents a major advantage over currently used technologies. Thus, OGM seems to be the key tool for cytogenetics of haematological malignancies in the coming years, making it possible to replace, under certain conditions, not only karyotype and FISH, but CMA and even RT-MLPA for the search for fusion transcripts, thus filling in the gaps in these techniques while maintaining their advantages. To define the place of this technology in Ph- MPN, the investigators will perform a OGM analysis on patients with Ph-MPN for whom bone marrow exploration is scheduled. These results will be compared with those of standard cytogenetics (CBA +/- FISH).
This is a placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess whether Guanfacine Extended Release (GXR) reduces aggression and self injurious behavior in individuals with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). In addition, the study will establish the safety of GXR with a specific focus on metabolic effects.
This is a prospective randomised study of the evaluation of the clinical IVF results after invasive PGT-A embryo selection versus Non-invasive PGT-A assisted embryo selection in subfertile women.
This is a prospective randomised study of the evaluation of the clinical IVF results after time lapse assisted embryo selection versus Non-invasive PGT-A assisted embryo selection in subfertile women.
Observational study of 160 patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities and 160 matched controls. Blood, fat, muscle, skin, buccal swaps, urine will be collected and analyzed for DNA, RNA and methylation patterns. The goal is to associated genotype and epigenetic changes with the phenotype of patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities. Patients participate in questionaries, dexa-scan of bones, fibroscan of liver, ultra sound of testicles and blood will be analyzed for organ specific blood work as well as immunological and coagulation components.
The objective of this study is the development, implementation and management of a registry of patient data that captures clinically meaningful, real-world, data on the diagnosis, nature, course of infection, treatment(s) and outcomes in patients with complex disease globally.
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are chronic myeloid hemopathies characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis (with peripheral cytopenias) and which contrast with a marrow of normal richness. MDS is considered one of the four most common blood diseases. The incidence is estimated at 4,059 cases / year in 2012 with an average age of 78 years in men and 81 years in women (INCA report, Cancers in France in 2015). The incidence increases with lengthening of the lifespan. The main risk of MDS is transformation to acute leukemia in 30 to 40% of cases. Treatment options depend on clinical, hematologic and chromosomal abnormalities. The prognosis is considered to be at low or high risk of developing acute leukemia. This distinction will therefore have an impact on the therapeutic solution (s). MDS exhibit clinical, morphological and genetic heterogeneity. It is therefore necessary to form subgroups of patients to better understand the physiopathogenesis of this pathology. The constitution of a biocollection will make it possible to search for clinical and biological prognostic markers in order to identify patients progressing to acute myeloid leukemia.
The objective of this study is to explore whether non-invasive chromosome screening (NICS) can be used as an effective indicator for embryos selection besides morphology through a multicenter randomized controlled trial, by comparing the differences of live birth rate, pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate between the two groups of embryo selection by "NICS+ morphology" and embryo selection only by "morphology" in IVF cycle.
Rationale: Due to accelerated germ cell loss, infertility is a major problem in girls with Turner syndrome (TS). Therefore, cryopreservation of ovarian tissue or oocytes before exhaustion of the ovarian reserve may preserve fertility in patients with TS. However, in the majority of females with TS , the ovarian reserve is exhausted before the age of menarche. Early markers indicating and predicting the ovarian reserve are necessary. During mid-childhood the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is quiescent and gonadotropins are usually unmeasurable. Nonetheless, this axis is active during infancy. Therefore, gonadotropins are measurable with peak values at 3 months of age and with lower (but still measurable) values at 9 months of age, in a period called the minipuberty. The aim of this study is to find markers of ovarian capacity, during the minipuberty, in order to predict ovarian reserve in the future. Objective: The hormonal range of LH, FSH, AMH, inhibin B, testosterone and estradiol in girls with TS during the minipuberty and the relation of the hormone serum levels with the karyotype. Study design: A prospective, cohort study with a duration of 3 years. Study population: Girls with a pre- or perinatal diagnosis TS who are born in a medical centre in the Netherlands during the duration of the study Main study parameters/endpoints: Serum levels of FSH, LH, AMH, inhibin B, testosterone and estradiol at the age of 3 and 9 months.
