Genetic testing for babies with slow growth late in pregnancy
This study looks at whether genetic testing of the amniotic fluid helps understand why some babies grow slowly after 28 weeks of pregnancy. It reviews past cases to see if the test results were useful for parents and doctors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your baby was diagnosed with slow growth after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- The slow growth is the only issue (no other birth defects or infections were found).
- You are having only one baby (not twins or more).
- You received care at Strasbourg University Hospitals between 2016 and 2023.
- You do not object to your medical data being used for research.

This trial looks at how to diagnose and manage pregnancies and babies affected by slow growth before birth, birth defects, or chromosome-related conditions. It may help by improving how doctors confirm problems and plan care for mothers and newborns.
This study follows pregnancies where the baby appears smaller than expected on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand why this happens and how to monitor care over time.
This study compares babies with fetal growth restriction (slower growth in the womb) to babies growing normally. It looks for causes and risk factors using medical records and questionnaires. You may join if you are expecting a single baby with a known due date and without certain health conditions or medications.
This study looks at how body composition differs in full-term babies who had intrauterine growth restriction. It may help doctors better understand and care for these infants.
This study looks at therapies meant to support brain development in babies whose growth is slower than expected before birth. It enrolls pregnancies in a specific time window and uses ultrasound/Doppler testing to make sure the baby is not likely needing delivery immediately.
This study looks at two ways to manage early-onset fetal growth restriction (when a baby is smaller than expected). It compares using blood tests for angiogenic factors versus feto-placental Doppler ultrasound to guide care. The goal is to find the best way to monitor and protect your baby's health.
