Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Cerebral Proliferative Vasculopathy

Completed
Conditions
Proliferative Vasculopathy
Registration Number
NCT03293134
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

As principal objective, the study aims to:

1. Describe the spectrum and evaluate the frequency of angiodysplasia of the nevrax;

2. Establish the physiopathological basis of Fowler's syndrome;

3. Identify FLVCR2 partners and the signaling pathways involved;

4. Test new candidate genes: GPR124 and possible partners of FLVCR2.

As second objective, the study aims to:

* perform phenotype / genotype correlation if necessary;

* and propose a prenatal diagnosis in families with identified mutations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morphological analysisthroughout the study: 36 months

Morphological analysis : characterisation of cellular lesions by immunolabelling with endothelial markers such as CD34 and CD31, pericytic markers (smooth muscle actin and proteoglycan NG2) and astrocytic markers (GFAP)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Identification of novel diseasethroughout the study: 36 months

Identification of novel disease causing genes in addition to FLVCR2 by whole exome sequencing.

Fetus with clinical VPCA and no FLVCR2 mutation found by Sanger sequencing, will be studied by whole exome sequencing in order to find mutation in other genes that could explain the phenotype.
