Maternal genes and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome risk study
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how a mother's genes and chemical changes to DNA (called epimutations) may increase the risk of having a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome or affect a woman's ability to get pregnant and carry a baby to term. It aims to find genetic clues that could help explain these reproductive challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman under 35 years old (for Cohorts 2 and 3).
- You have a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (Cohort 1).
- You are undergoing fertility treatment and have not had a live birth after three cycles or 6 embryos transferred (Cohort 2).
- You have had two or more pregnancy losses before 24 weeks of pregnancy (Cohort 3).
- You do not have other known causes of infertility or pregnancy loss (like ovarian disorders, hormone issues, or autoimmune conditions).
- You do not have chromosomal abnormalities found in standard genetic tests.

This study looks at fertility in women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. It aims to understand how these mutations might affect a woman's ability to have children by comparing them to family members without the mutation.
This study is for children and teens (ages 6 to 18) who may have a genetic condition from a parent or an unexplained health problem. It tests a new approach to find hidden risks and help families understand their health better.
This study checks whether gene tests can help understand cancer risk in families where different relatives had different (discordant) cancers. It may help families and doctors better understand whether hereditary cancer risk is possible, even though some parts use routine standard care as a comparison group.
This study looks at gene methylation patterns in people with certain growth conditions. It aims to better understand how these changes relate to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome, and Temple syndrome.
This study helps identify genetic causes of birth defects that weren't found by standard tests. Researchers use advanced genetic mapping to look for structural changes in DNA that might explain your baby's condition.
This study looks for genetic clues in ongoing and past pregnancies to help explain why some people miscarry repeatedly. The results may help doctors better predict and prevent future pregnancy loss.
