About this trial

In order to understand the molecular mechanisms leading to Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), the research team has to identify molecular bases of this anomaly.

Toward this goal, the research team would like to include in the study patients with MRKH syndrome, as well as their healthy relatives, in order to perform genetic analyses, especially whole exome sequencing.

This study has been set up in order to collect biological samples from patients with MRKH and their relatives.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient with MRKH syndrome OR healthy relative of patient included

Having signed the Informed consent form (or parents in case of patient under 18 years)

Disqualifiers

Refusal to participate in genetic analyses

Participation in a therapeutical clinical study in the 30 days prior to inclusion in the present study.

Trial population

Recruitment of patients presenting MRKH syndrome, as well as their healthy relatives, in order to perform genetic analyses
