AI-Summary

What this Trial Is About

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
