Scientists hunt hidden genetic clues behind mysterious pregnancy condition
NCT ID NCT03412760
Summary
This national study aims to discover the genetic causes of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) and other birth defects, conditions where excess fluid builds up in a fetus. Researchers are enrolling 500 families where a pregnancy is affected by these conditions to perform advanced genetic testing (exome sequencing) on the fetus or newborn. The goal is to create a registry of information to help doctors better understand these conditions, improve counseling for families, and guide future care.
