Genetic sleuths hunt for hidden causes of fatal fetal swelling
NCT ID NCT05528796
First seen Apr 18, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to uncover the genetic reasons behind non-immune hydrops fetalis, a condition where abnormal fluid builds up in a fetus, often leading to stillbirth or severe health problems. Researchers will use advanced DNA and RNA sequencing on 500 affected fetuses or newborns and their parents. By identifying the root causes, they hope to improve diagnosis, counseling, and treatment during and after pregnancy.
