Could a brother or son’s cells affect pregnancy loss?
NCT ID NCT05340556
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study examines whether cells from a woman’s firstborn son or older brother can be found in her blood and if they are linked to recurrent pregnancy loss. Researchers will take blood and cheek swab samples from 32 women who have had at least three miscarriages. The goal is to gather information for a larger future study, not to test a treatment.
