COLORADO FETAL CARE CENTER
Research and trials
Children ’ s Colorado is one of the largest universityaffiliated healthcare research complexes in the world , and as a result , we are continually working to develop new therapies across the perinatal spectrum , including examining the role of miRNA in TTTS , among others .

Active research studies
Some of our active trials for TTTS include :
Expression of micro RNAs in maternal serum in normal mono-di twin pregnancies and those with twin-twin transfusion syndrome
This study is designed with the researchers to learn more about circulating micro RNA in women with monochorionic-diamniotic twin pregnancies . In learning more about these micro RNAs we may be better able to predict those pregnancies at highest risk for complications like TTTS .
Role of protein and miRNA biomarkers in amniotic fluid of patients with twin-twin transfusion syndrome
This study aims to learn more about TTTS and how proteins in pregnant women ’ s amniotic fluid affect babies ’ health and heart , compared to healthy babies .
