Biobank for craniosynostosis and faciocraniosynostosis, rare pediatric congenital craniofacial disorders: a study protocol.
Purpose: Craniosynostosis (CRS) is a rare congenital cranial malformation in which 1 or more cranial or facial sutures are fused in utero or rapidly fused in early infancy. The cranial sutures separate the skull bone plates and enable rapid growth of the skull in the first 2 years of life, in which growth is largely dictated by growth of the brain. CRS is a rare disease that occurs in 1 in 2100 to 1 in 2500 births and may be either nonsyndromic (also referred to as isolated) or syndromic. In syndromic CRS, other birth defects are present next to the CRS. The distinction between nonsyndromic and syndromic manifestations is made on the basis of dysmorphologic evaluation and genetic evaluation. Owing to advances in genetic diagnostics, nonsyndromic patients are increasingly recognized as syndromic patients. CRS treatment is almost entirely surgical and is sometimes paired with postoperative helmet therapy for maintenance. Corrective procedures are complex, long, and associated with the risk of numerous complications, including heavy blood loss and its sequelae. Although surgery may restore a normal appearance, even in nonsyndromic patients, patients may experience persistent deficits in intellectual ability and cognitive function. The European Commission (EC) has prioritized rare diseases in recent horizon European research programs; indeed, collections or even individual samples may be extremely valuable for research.
Methods and results: Here, we present a study protocol in which the combined expertise of clinicians and researchers will be exploited to generate a biobank dedicated to CRS. The generation of the CRS biobank presented in this study will include the collection of different types of biological materials as well as advanced radiological images available to the scientific community.
Conclusion: The activation of a CRS biobank will provide an opportunity to improve translational research on CRS and to share its benefits with the scientific community and patients and their families.
期刊介绍:
The journal has been expanded to encompass all aspects of pediatric neurosciences concerning the developmental and acquired abnormalities of the nervous system and its coverings, functional disorders, epilepsy, spasticity, basic and clinical neuro-oncology, rehabilitation and trauma. Global pediatric neurosurgery is an additional field of interest that will be considered for publication in the journal.
