Looking for resources on CDH study for my baby

[SandraF]

My baby is due in October, we will be delivering at Lutheran General, IL. Looking for help to have my baby researched or genetic testing.

Welcome to CHERUBS Sandra, happy to see you are posting. We are here for you. Has the hospital referred you to a genetic counselor yet? They can do some tests before the baby is here. Did you have an amnio done yet? I am going to list the 3 big genetic research trials going on for CDH below. Participation in these are free and I am not sure if they would want samples after the baby is here or before. These studies are looking for answers to why CDH happens. I have not yet met Julia, but I have met researchers from Mass General and Baylor and they are great and friendly. Julia, I have heard amazing things about. Definitely give them a call and see what they have to say.

We did the DHREAMS research study. My daughter was born at Cardinal Glennon in St. Louis, Missouri.
