Characterization and Contribution of Genome-wide DNA Methylation (DNA Methylation Episignatures) in Rare Diseases With Prenatal Onset
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
It is necessary to define reference DNA Methylation Episignatures from fetal DNA. The hypotheses are: * It is possible to define reference DNA Methylation Episignatures from fetal DNA extracted from amniotic fluid or frozen tissues collected during the postmortem examination * Fetal DNA Methylation Episignatures may be different to postanal DNA Methylation Episignatures defined on DNA extracted from blood
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient Inclusion Criteria: * Fetuses with a postmortem examination as part of the etiological diagnosis of developmental abnormality within the Genomic Medicine of Rare Diseases department of the Necker Children's Hospital, and whose DNA extracted from lung and amniotic fluid is available * OR a child cared for in the Genomic Medicine for Rare Diseases department of the Necker Children's Hospital, and whose DNA extracted from whole blood is available * with pathogenic or probably pathogenic variation in a gene following CHD7, KMT2D, HYLS1, TCTN3 or FLVCR2 * whose parents have consented to molecular genetic testing as part of diagnosis and research * Negative Controls : * Fetuses with a postmortem examination as part of the etiological diagnosis of developmental abnormality within the Genomic Medicine of Rare Diseases department of the Necker Children's Hospital, and whose DNA extracted from lung and amniotic fluid are available * OR a child cared for in the Genom
