Understanding Brain Development in Williams Syndrome
This observational study aims to understand how the brains of children with Williams syndrome and 7q11.23 duplication syndrome develop over time, compared to healthy children. Researchers are using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to look at brain activity and changes. The goal is to learn more about how genetic differences affect brain development and function in these conditions. This study is looking for about 415 participants, including children with Williams syndrome, 7q11.23 duplication syndrome, or other 7q11.23 genetic variations, as well as healthy children, all aged 5 years and older. The study is currently ongoing.
- Study design
