Study Summary

This trial will use MRI to study how d-TGA affects the brain, and how genes may play a role in modulating that effect.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with d-transposition of the great arteries who were part of past studies at Boston Children's Hospital, and healthy adults matching their age and sex. Participants must be able to consent to an MRI scan and some cognitive tests. People can't join if they have metal implants, claustrophobia, mental illness history, brain injuries or interventions, intellectual impairments that prevent questionnaire completion, or are not fluent in English.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study uses advanced MRI scans to explore how certain heart defects from birth affect the brain's structure and function related to decision-making skills. It also looks into how genetic differences might influence these changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves only MRI scanning which is a non-invasive imaging technique, there are typically no side effects associated with it. However, individuals may experience discomfort due to lying still during the procedure or from being in a confined space.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who is eligible to partake in this research trial?

"This research study seeks 225 participants with congenital heart disease (CHD) aged between 24 to 35 years old. Most critically, applicants need to have taken part in the Boston Circulatory Arrest, pH and Hematocrit studies at Boston Childrens Hospital as children (n~300). Additionally, normally-developed age-matched adults able to give informed consent must also be included for MRI scans and limited IQ testing alongside more specialized neuropsychological tests which lack a normative reference."

Answered by AI

How many participants are contributing to this trial's findings?

"Affirmative, according to records on clinicaltrials.gov the trial is still enrolling participants. This study was first advertised on July 1st 2022 and last updated 19th September of the same year. The aim is to recruit 225 patients from one medical centre."

Answered by AI

Is the research team currently engaging new participants for this experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov points out that the trial, which was launched on July 1st 2022 and recently revised on September 19th 2022, is actively recruiting 225 participants from a single medical site."

Answered by AI

Is there an upper age limit for those eligible to participate in this trial?

"This research aims to include individuals between 24 and 35 years of age."
