Who can take part

  • 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

  • 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

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

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.
