Mayo Clinic Umbilical and Placental Tissues Biobank

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect paired maternal and umbilical cord blood samples that can be processed for various traits in the blood, including serum, DNA, RNA and cells. The long term goal of this project is to start an Umbilical and Placental Tissues Biobank, which will operate in parallel to the Mayo Clinic Biobank. In future studies, we may use the serum, DNA and RNA obtained from cord blood and your blood to understand health and disease.
