Curriculum vitae

The author of this thesis was born on the 17th of March 1975 in Hillegom, The Netherlands.

He attended secondary school at the Fioretticollege in Lisse and passed his gymnasium β exam in 1993. From 1993 till 1994 he studied medicine at the University of Antwerp, Belgium and completed his first year (grote onderscheiding). From 1994 to 1998 he studied medicine at the Free University in Amsterdam. In 1998 he obtained a one-year scholarship from the Japan Prizewinners Programme, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. After a 6 months preparatory programme at the University of Leiden and at the Japan-Dutch Institute in Tokyo, Japan (head: dr. W.G.J. Remmelink), he performed a five months clerkship at the Red Cross Hospital in Kumamoto and Tokyo. In 1999 he started his clinical training at the Free University in Amsterdam and obtained his medical degree in 2001 (cum laude). From 2002 to 2003 he worked as a resident (ANIOS) at the Department of Pediatrics at the Meander Hospital in Amersfoort (Dr. P.H.G. Hogeman).

From March 2003 till October 2005 he performed his research resulting in this thesis at the Department of Human Genetics of the Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedicine, Nagasaki, Japan (head: Prof. Dr. N. Niikawa) and at the Department of Human Genetics of the Yokohama City University, Yokohama, Japan (head: Prof. Dr. N. Matsumoto). In 2005 he obtained a grant from The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (AIOSKO stipendium: i.e. combined training in pediatrics and a PhD-scholarship) and continued his research on Sotos syndrome at the Department of Pediatrics of the Leiden University Medical Center (supervisors Prof. Dr. J.M. Wit, Dr. M. Karperien en Dr. S.G. Kant) from November 2005 till November 2008. In September 2008 he was awarded the Henning Andersen Prize for the best experimental abstract (“Sotos syndrome is associated with a deregulation of the MAPK signaling pathway”) at the annual meeting of the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) in Istanbul, Turkey. In November 2008 he started his specialisation in pediatrics at the Leiden University Medical Center (head: Dr. R.N. Sukhai, currently Prof. Dr. H.A. Delemarre-van de Waal) and is now fullfilling the non-academic part of his specialisation at the Reinier de Graaf Hospital in Delft (head: dr. N. van der Lely).

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not

‘Eureka!’ (I found it!) but ‘That’s funny...’

Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

Zoals we in wetenschap vaak de gevolgen niet kunnen overzien van een aanvankelijk slechts grappige ontdekking, zo had ik mij niet kunnen voorstellen dat de weg, ingeslagen na een in enkele minuten gemaakte beslissing tijdens een vakantie, jaren later zou eindigen in dit proefschrift. Tijdens deze reis hebben vanzelfsprekend een groot aantal mensen bijgedragen aan de totstandkoming van dit proefschrift. Een aantal wil ik hier graag persoonlijk bedan- ken. Voor degenen die ik hier niet bij naam noem, weet dat ik ook jullie erg dankbaar ben!

Mijn promotor, prof. dr. J.M. Wit. Beste Jan Maarten, dank voor jouw ongebreidelde enthou- siasme en het vertrouwen in mij. Ik waardeer enorm deze manier van begeleiden.

Mijn co-promotor, dr. M. Karperien. Beste Marcel, dank voor je optimisme en het dienen als kritisch klankbord. Je ideeën en kennis liggen ten grondslag aan het ontstaan van dit proefschrift.

Mijn co-promotor, dr. S.G. Kant. Beste Sarina, jij was voor mij de persoonlijke verbinding naar de patiënten om wie het uiteindelijk allemaal draait. Dank voor de prettige samenwerking.

Dear professor Niikawa, thank you very much for taking me into your lab in Nagasaki. Not only did you give me the opportunity to study about human genetics, you also taught me the meaning of being “humane”.

Dear professor Matsumoto, thank you for guiding my first steps as a young clinician towards a basic scientist. The time in Nagasaki and Yokohama has left an enormous positive imprint on my life, scientifically and personally. I’m very grateful for that and it is an honour to de- fend my thesis in front of you.

Het “Endo-groepje van Jan Maarten”. Razvan, Sandy, Joyce en Hermine als medepromoven- di en dr. Wilma Oostdijk. Dank jullie voor de samenwerking en plezier de afgelopen jaren.

279 Mijn collega’s van het Endo-lab en LDGA, dank voor jullie betrokkenheid en gezelligheid.

Prof. dr. M. Breuning, prof. dr. E. Bakker en dr. M. Losekoot, dank voor de mogelijkheid om genetische screeningen te verrichten, de adviezen en samenwerking.

My colleagues from the Human Genetics lab in Nagasaki and Yokohama, especially dr. Sakai.

Thank you very much for your support, kindness and help.

Mijn medeonderzoekers uit het Willem-Alexander Kinder- en Jeugdcentrum LUMC, dank voor jullie gezelligheid en collegialiteit

De dames van het secretariaat van het Willem-Alexander Kinder- en Jeugdcentrum en met name Mirjam Vollebregt. Dank voor al jullie hulp.

Alle kinderen en ouders voor hun deelname aan de studies. Zonder jullie zou dit niet moge- lijk zijn geweest.

Mijn paranimfen Edwin en Razvan. Dank dat jullie naast me willen staan, dit voelt goed.

Familieleden en vrienden, dank voor al het plezier, betrokkenheid en steun de afgelopen jaren. Ik ga zeker meer tijd voor jullie vrijmaken!

Mijn ouders, lieve pap en mam. Dank voor jullie liefdevolle opvoeding en onvoorwaardelijke steun voor mijn keuzes. Jullie stonden aan de basis van dit alles. Dank ook voor de onder- steuning en opvang van Junko en de kinderen. Wij allen komen altijd graag bij jullie thuis!

Yuki en Miho, onze prachtige dochters. Dank voor jullie aanstekelijke vrolijkheid en plezier in het leven. Deze maken dat al het andere onbelangrijk wordt.

Lieve Junko, dank voor je liefde en nog veel meer!

We also studied the SoS proximal and distal LCRs (PLCR and DLCR, respectively) in detail, by computational analysis using the published May 2004 human genome sequence,

Also the recombination hotspots for NF1 (2.1 kb) (14), for common 4-Mb deletions in SMS (~8 kb) (15), and for uncommon deletions in SMS (577 bp) (26) showed similar stretches

In this study, hemizygous hypermethylation or genomic sequence abnormalities of the promoter region of NSD1 were hypothesized to be the underlying cause in patients with

Due to the phenotypic overlap, we hypothesized that RNF135 aberrations might be the cause in patients with features of Sotos syndrome but without NSD1 defects.. However,

Secondly, BRWD3 is another gene possibly related to our patient’s phenotype, because loss of function mutations were identified in 4 male patients with X-linked mental retardation,

Third, NSD1 was shown to influence many genes involved in the MAPK pathway (Figure 2 A and B) and the net effect of these changes might be more important for the MAPK/ERK

In order to evaluate the contribution of FBN1, FBN2, TGFBR1, and TGFBR2 mutations to the Marfan syndrome (MFS) phenotype, the four genes were analyzed by direct sequencing

In 18 typical Japanese Sotos syndrome patients, the promoter region was analyzed for both genomic sequence abnormalities as for epigenetic alterations such as
