New Research Study for Children and Young People with Rasopathies including Neurofibromatosis type 1 and Noonan Syndrome
Understanding Learning in Neurofibromatosis type-1 and Noonan Syndrome using Neuroimaging
Many young people with Rasopathies including Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan Syndrome (NS) experience daily problems with learning, paying attention in the classroom and concentrating. We don’t have many treatments for these difficulties at the moment.
At the University of Manchester, we are starting a new study to understand how particular brain chemicals measured with a brain imaging scan help children learn. The study will involve a one research visit for computerised games and puzzles and a brain scan.
This study is for young people who are between 11-17 years old with a diagnosis of NF1 or Noonan Syndrome. If you would like to find out more about this study, please get in touch by emailing the research team on nfresearch@manchester.ac.uk. We will reimburse all expenses and provide a voucher as a token of appreciation.
