Official title: Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis for Single Gene Disorders

Run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · NCT06147414 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new way to safely diagnose single-gene disorders in unborn babies using a simple blood test from the mother, starting as early as 9 weeks into the pregnancy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy who are at least 9 weeks along and have a family history of single-gene disorders.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are at risk of another single-gene disorder or those with a de novo pathogenic mutation in a previous child may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on the development of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) for single-gene disorders using cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) found in maternal blood. It aims to provide a safe and accurate diagnosis from as early as 9 weeks of gestation, avoiding the risks associated with invasive procedures. The study addresses the technical challenges of distinguishing fetal genotype from maternal cfDNA and seeks to implement SGD-NIPD more widely, as current testing is often limited to research settings. By optimizing detection techniques, the study hopes to reduce parental anxiety and improve decision-making for expectant parents.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide early and definitive diagnoses for single-gene disorders without the risk of miscarriage.

How similar studies have gone: While non-invasive prenatal testing for aneuploidies is widely used, the approach for single-gene disorders is less common and represents a novel area of investigation.
