Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)NCT01663584
Multi-disease Carrier Screening Test Validation
An observational study of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Carrier Screening, run by Natera, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to enable validation of genetic testing for diseases within a multi-disease carrier screening panel. Samples will be collected from adult women or men who have previously tested positive as carriers for various recessive conditions. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Collection of Blood Samples for Development of Multi-disease Carrier Testing
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples to enable validation of genetic testing for diseases within a multi-disease carrier screening panel. Samples will be collected from adult women or men who have previously tested positive as carriers for various recessive conditions. These are healthy adults who carry a mutation that might place them at increased risk of having a child with a specific genetic disorder. Study participation will be open to adults that were previously tested as part of their routine medical care and where test results demonstrated positive carrier status for a specific genetic disease. Samples will be tested for the disease mutation for which the subjects provides documentation of prior testing.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Carrier Screening, run by Natera, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jul 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
