NCT06705543

Brief Summary

This study will use multiOMICS study on fetuses with complexe congenital heart defects (CHD) to identify etiological epigenetic factors of these cardiac malformations, related to environmental factors during pregnancy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cardiac malformations biomarkers

    Identification of biomarkers such as RNA deregulation (mRNA, LncRNA, miRNA, upregulated or deregulated compared to controls), and DNA methylation marks (present or absent, compared to controls) specific to cardiac malformations by transcriptomic and methylomic analysis of amniotic fluid from fetuses with congenital heart disease

Study Arms (2)

Congenital Heart Defects population

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Genetic: multi-omics genetic analyses included exome

control population

PLACEBO COMPARATOR
Genetic: multi-omics genetic analyses

Interventions

Genetic analysis will be carried out on amniotic fluid from the volume collected as part of the by obstetricians working in the fetal medicine unit. These genetic analyses will include : * Study of free RNA circulating in the LA, * Methylome study. * Trio exome study (parents-fetus).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Fetuses with congenital heart disease :
  • Pregnant women aged 18 and more
  • Single foetal pregnancy in which the foetus has a complex non-syndromic congenital heart defect, with no identified chromosomal abnormality, gene syndrome or infection.
  • Patient for whom the indication for amniocentesis has been accepted by the CPDPN and accepted by the couple/patient
  • Gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks' gestation.
  • Person affiliated to or benefiting from a social security scheme.
  • Control Population for RNAseq and MéthlySeq
  • Pregnant women aged 18 and more
  • Patient in whom the indication for amniocentesis has been retained by the CPDPN and accepted by the couple/patient, for a non-malformative ultrasound anomaly (hyperechoic bowel, idiopathic hydramnios, increased risk of trisomy 21, agenesis of the OPN, suspected toxoplasmosis/CMV seroconversion), with no chromosomal anomaly, gene syndrome or infection identified.
  • Gestational age between 20 and 28 weeks' gestation.
  • Person affiliated to or benefiting from a social security scheme.

You may not qualify if:

  • For both populations (cases and controls) :
  • Female minors,
  • Patients not affiliated to the social security system,
  • Patients who do not understand French,
  • Patients under guardianship
  • Multiple pregnancies, or where the foetus has associated malformations
