Understanding Genetic Test Results During Pregnancy
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This research study helps pregnant people understand the results of genetic tests done during pregnancy (like CVS or amniocentesis). The study follows families for one year after birth to learn how genetic counseling and test results affect decision-making and family wellbeing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and scheduled for a genetic test (CVS or amniocentesis)
- Your baby does not have a major structural abnormality detected so far (minor findings are okay)
- A genetic counselor is involved in your pregnancy care
- Both parents are 18 years or older
- You are willing to participate in follow-up visits and surveys for 1 year after your baby is born
- You speak English or Spanish fluently

This study examines genetic material from miscarriages to understand why early pregnancy loss happens. Researchers analyze a blood sample taken right after miscarriage to look for clues that might help explain what went wrong and potentially prevent future losses.
This study is testing a chatbot that helps pregnant women think about prenatal genetic tests. You can join if you are early in pregnancy, have a phone or tablet, and haven't already talked to a genetic counselor about this pregnancy.
This study looks at the benefits of doing extra genetic testing (genomic sequencing) on samples from routine prenatal tests like CVS or amniocentesis, specifically for pregnancies where the baby appears normal on ultrasound.
This study tests a new way to find genetic causes of congenital heart disease (a heart problem found before birth) using samples from amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. It may help parents get a clearer diagnosis and plan for their baby's care.
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 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.
