Genetic Analysis of PHACE Syndrome (Hemangioma With Other Congenital Anomalies) (PHACE)

March 26, 2023 updated by: Dawn Siegel, Medical College of Wisconsin

Genetic Analysis of PHACE Syndrome.(PHACE Syndrome is Defined as a Hemangioma Plus One or More of the Following: Brain, Heart, Eye, Sternal or Cerebral Artery Anomalies).

  1. PHACE syndrome(OMIM database number 606519) is the association of a vascular birthmark (hemangioma) on the face along with one or more of the following conditions: congenital heart defects, congenital anomalies of the cerebral arteries,brain, eyes, or sternum.
  2. A research study is currently being conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to investigate if there is an inherited cause of PHACE syndrome.
  3. We are hoping that this study will lead to a better understanding of how and why children develop PHACE syndrome.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

If you and your child agree to participate in this study, the following will happen:

  1. The principal investigator at MCW, or her appointed representative or collaborators at other sites, will review the study protocol and consent form with you and answer any questions- this can be done over the phone.
  2. If you choose to participate, the investigator will obtain informed consent for study participation, consent to obtain medical records, and a small amount of logistical information such as address and phone number.
  3. Subjects and parents may have a blood draw, saliva sample or buccal swab done.
  4. If the subject undergoes surgery for another reason and there is tissue which would otherwise be discarded, we may ask to receive this sample for research purposes.
  5. We will request completion of surveys about the individual's medical history as it relates to this condition.
  6. The purpose of this study is to promote the understanding of the inheritance of hemangiomas associated with brain, eye and heart anomalies. The DNA obtained from participants are stored in a DNA repository and genetic data bank for current and future research projects related to their genetic disorders. The DNA specimens will be used to map disease-related genes. The principal investigator uses her discretion to decide which investigators will have access to this resource. The analysis of the specimens will vary depending on the investigator and his/her specific protocol.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Individuals with a facial hemangioma, along with one or more of the following:

posterior fossa malformation, arterial anomalies, cardiac defects, eye anomalies and sternal anomalies.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • meets the clinical diagnostic criteria for PHACE syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • fails to meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for PHACE syndrome.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 1, 2007

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
August 15, 2022

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
