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.
