SPOT KT Conference
The Registry is now on Twitter! Follow us on our new account, @CanCPRegistry, to get find out more about CP in Canada, our activities and our research.
Canadian CP Registry investigators attended and participated in lectures and workshops at the inaugural Brain-Child-Partners Conference hosted by the CHILD-BRIGHT and Kids Brain Health networks. It took place in Toronto from November 6-8, 2017.
Canadian CP Registry co-directors Dr Maryam Oskoui and Dr Michael Shevell both gave Presidential Guest Lectures at the 2017 Conference of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, which took place in Montreal in September 2017.
The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry is now listed on the Canadian Clinical Trials Asset Map, a comprehensive database for all Canadian clinical research assets. Register and find us on the map!

The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry was invited to present at the Research Day of the Regroupement provincial en Paralysie Cérébrale pédiatrique at the University of Sherbrooke’s Faculty of Medicine on October 27, 2016. Thank you to Dr Pigeon for organizing an excellent conference.
Investigators from The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry presented at the annual Brain Development Conference in Calgary, and met for the annual Canadian CP Registry general meeting.
Canadian CP Registry co-director Dr Maryam Oskoui gave the Presidential Guest Lecture at the 2016 Conference of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine.
Investigators from The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry participated in the World CP Register Day in Stockholm on June 1, 2016, and gave several presentations at the conference, including one on the history, purpose and many uses of the CP Registry.
The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry made headlines on CTV News, CBC and The Montreal Gazette with the breakthrough finding that cerebral palsy may be caused not only by brain injuries, but also by genetic anomalies.
Participating Centres
The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry is a database of basic information collected from children with cerebral palsy from hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation clinics from across the country.
It is the combined effort of these centres and their coordinators and investigators which have led to the current collection of invaluable data which has been used to help children afflicted with cerebral palsy
Hospitals and clinics from British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland have all helped contribute to the continued growth and development of The Greek Cerebral Palsy Registry.
Do genes play a role in Cerebral Palsy?
Each child with cerebral palsy (CP) is unique in their abilities and the risk factors they were exposed to. Recent evidence suggests that our genes could play a role in the development of CP.
We each have a unique genetic code (DNA). It is possible that differences in DNA could lead to CP. This study aims to understand the genetic contribution to developing CP. It is hoped that this information will improve the care provided to children with CP, and help develop new treatments.
Genetic Insights to the Causes of Cerebral Palsy Project
We are looking to recruit children who have a diagnosis of CP and their biological parents in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton. Contact us!
Why should I get involved?
Your participation may help:
- Researchers to better understand the causes of CP
- Lead to the development of new diagnostic tests and treatments for CP
You may also benefit by learning about specific genes associated with your child’s CP. There are no directs costs to you for participating in this study, and a gift card is offered at the end of your participation. Your participation should coincide with your child’s regular clinical visits.
