On May 2, 2024, we went live at www.PCH2cure.org – the new knowledge and exchange platform for pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2. We hope all visitors to this website gain exciting…
In July 2024, 28 PCH children and their families will set off on Cruise4Life, a one-of-a-kind research cruise. Lots of doctors and researchers from the PCH2cure project will spend a…
Typical gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with PCH2A (feeding difficulties, reflux, vomiting, bloating, constipation, defecation disorders, dysmotility, cramping abdominal pain, restlessness) are recorded in a standardized manner and compared with a control group (children and adolescents with other types of severe neurological impairment).
The severe neurological symptoms seen in children with PCH2A are caused by how the disease affects the brain. MRI allows us to visualize these abnormalities more precisely and thus gain important insights into the disease.
The article originally titled “Human organoid model of PCH2a recapitulates brain region-specific pathology” shows for the first time how the pathology in certain brain regions in PCH2A can be simulated in a 3-dimensional neuronal tissue model (organoid).
