NCT ID NCT05834621
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a rapid whole genome sequencing test on amniotic fluid could give faster genetic diagnoses for fetuses with suspected genetic diseases. Researchers planned to compare results from amniotic fluid and blood samples from up to 90 families. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
