Sociostructural and Epigenetic Origins of Fetal Growth Restriction (SCOUT FGR)
SCOUT FGR is a prospective, single-site observational cohort study investigating the interplay between sociostructural factors, fetal DNA methylation patterns, and the severity of fetal growth restriction (FGR). By analyzing DNA methylation from a maternal blood draw, this study aims to uncover epigenetic markers that may contribute to FGR, ultimately advancing our understanding of its underlying mechanisms and potential interventions.
North American Fetal Therapy Network (NAFTNet) Registry Studies
As an active trial site for the North American Fetal Therapy Network (NAFTNet), we are enrolling participants in multiple registry studies focused on complex fetal anomalies and monochorionic twin gestations. These studies contribute to a growing body of research aimed at improving diagnostic, therapeutic, and long-term outcomes for affected pregnancies.
Decision-Making in the Setting of Congenital Anomalies (NATAL)
NATAL is a prospective, multisite observational cohort study designed to explore the complexities of reproductive decision-making when congenital anomalies are diagnosed in utero. In addition to common genetic and structural fetal anomalies, this study focuses on conditions that may be eligible for maternal-fetal surgery, examining how patients and providers navigate medical, ethical, and emotional considerations in these high-stakes situations.
