Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Whole blood from pregnant women will be collected to develop a noninvasive fetal sex test.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an observational study whereby samples will be tested to determine the presence or absence of fetal Y chromosome genes to test for the fetal sex of the baby. The blood draw will occur between 6 to 16 weeks of gestation. The fetal gender will be requested at or soon after delivery if fetal sex was not previously obtained by CVS or amniocentesis genetic analysis.
