Blood test for genetic disorders in pregnancy
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a safer blood test to check for certain genetic disorders during pregnancy, instead of an invasive procedure like amniocentesis. It's for pregnant women who are at risk of passing on a known genetic condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant (at least 9 weeks) and expecting one baby.
- You or your partner have a family history of a specific genetic condition like sickle cell disease or cystic fibrosis.
- The exact genetic change in your family has already been found by a doctor.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This study is testing a non-invasive prenatal blood test (NIPD) that can check for certain serious genetic disorders in your baby, instead of using more invasive methods like amniocentesis. If you are at risk of passing on a severe genetic condition, this test may help you get answers safely.
This study looks at DNA patterns in fetuses or children with rare genetic conditions. It aims to better understand how these patterns relate to diseases that start before birth, which could help with diagnosis and future care.
This study tests a new blood test that can screen for genetic problems in babies during pregnancy. It may find more conditions than standard tests, especially for pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings or other risk factors.
This study looks at a new blood test to screen for single-gene disorders (conditions caused by changes in one gene) during pregnancy. It may help if you or your baby's father carry a genetic disorder, or if an ultrasound shows signs of a possible genetic condition.
This study tests a new blood test during early pregnancy that can screen for certain genetic conditions by analyzing fetal cells. A simple blood draw may help detect potential chromosomal abnormalities earlier and more safely than traditional methods.
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.
