NCT ID NCT05444283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to discover the genetic reasons behind recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) by analyzing DNA from parents and pregnancy tissue. Researchers at Yale University will enroll 500 women who have had multiple pregnancy losses. The goal is to identify genetic markers that predict RPL, which could lead to better diagnosis and counseling in the future.
