Prenatal DNA test may uncover Mom's cancer risk
NCT ID NCT04049604
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at pregnant women whose routine blood tests for the baby's DNA came back unusual or unclear. Researchers want to find out if these results can signal cancer in the mother. Participants will have imaging, lab tests, and surveys, and may be followed for up to 5 years. The goal is to better understand the link between these test results and cancer, not to provide a direct treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
* INCLUSION CRITERIA: * Women, age \>= 18 years. * Pregnancy for which the following applies: * Underwent blood noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) during pregnancy to screen for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and had unusual results that either led to an interpretation of "non-reportable" or multiple aneuploidies inconsistent with a viable fetus. * Normal-appearing fetus or fetuses on ultrasound examination and/or a normal fetal or neonatal karyotype. If a fetal anomaly is present but does not explain entirely the NIPT results, or there is a continuing concern for maternal cancer, the individual is still eligible for participation. * Study enrollment may occur during pregnancy or up to two years postpartum. * Ability to travel to NIH. * Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: -The following NIPT results will be excluded: --Abnormal results that have been associated previously with an increased risk for hematologic malignancy, including but not limited to, Trisomy 8, 20delq, 5delq.
