Massive database aims to unlock secrets of facial birth defects
NCT ID NCT07422454
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a large database of genetic and physical information from 3100 children with craniofacial abnormalities, such as craniosynostosis and Pierre Robin sequence. Researchers will analyze this data to understand why these conditions vary so much from person to person. The goal is to improve diagnosis, predict outcomes, and design personalized treatment plans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better diagnosis and personalized treatment plans for children with craniofacial abnormalities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational database study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any therapy, and results may take years to impact patient care.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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
