Study of fetal tissue collected during normal pregnancy
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study asks pregnant people with a normal ultrasound to join research where fetal tissue may be collected at an important point in pregnancy (7–20 weeks). It aims to better understand fetal development, and participation requires being able to understand the study in English.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 16 or older and can make decisions for yourself
- Your ultrasound scan shows no fetal differences or abnormalities
- You speak and read English well enough to understand the study information

This study uses advanced genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) on tissue samples from fetuses with structural abnormalities detected on ultrasound. The goal is to identify genetic causes of birth defects to help with diagnosis and understanding of your baby's condition.
This study looks at how a baby’s organs develop in late pregnancy, using situations where someone is already being evaluated for a possible fetal abnormality and chooses to end the pregnancy. The goal is to better understand late-stage fetal development and related causes of abnormalities.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look at your baby's lung development in the last weeks of pregnancy. It may help doctors learn more about how healthy lungs grow before birth.
This study collects placenta tissue (or tissue from an abortion) from women at the Grenoble University Hospital to better understand pregnancy problems linked to the placenta. By participating, you help researchers learn more about conditions that affect pregnant women and their babies.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels develop in babies born very early (before 28 weeks), compared with babies who are more mature. It aims to help find ways to better protect the hearts of premature babies in the future.
This study uses ultrasound to examine fetal brain and spine development in pregnant women. It compares scans from pregnancies where a brain or spine issue is suspected with those from healthy pregnancies to improve understanding and diagnosis.
