In collaboration with the BC Children’s Hospital BioBank, consented registry patients have the option of storing their tissue samples from miscarriage in the BioBank. The BioBank collects and stores samples and clinical information from patients who are receiving medical treatment at BC Women’s Hospital and would like to contribute to health research.
Although they collect a wide range of samples, only products of conception will be collected from RPL patients in the case that they have a miscarriage during the course of their care at the RPL clinic. The de-identified samples alongside a curated dataset will be sent out to ethics-approved research studies in Canada and around the world.
