Scientists decode fetal DNA to unlock secrets of rare birth defects

NCT ID NCT06475651

First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at DNA methylation patterns (chemical tags on DNA) in fetal tissue and amniotic fluid to help diagnose rare genetic diseases that start before birth. Researchers will compare these patterns with those from children's blood to see if they differ. The goal is to improve how doctors identify these conditions, not to treat them directly.
