description <p class="p1">The research biobank “Anna Maria Ferraro Cutino” AOR-villa Sofia-Cervello, started in 2010 by a grant of the Sicilian Department of Health. Within the biobank are collected, characterized, stored and distributed amniotic fluids (AF) from amniocentesis performed for maternal age. Patients choose to donate to the biobank the first 3 ml of AF that cannot be used for prenatal diagnosis. AF and donor data are anonymously archived in a database, according to the standard ethical principles. Collateral biobanks are present to collect, storage and manage donor sera and DNA samples, to perform microbiological and genetic tests necessary for the unit release.</p><p class="p1"> </p><p class="p1"><strong>Funding Statement: </strong>From 2009 to date this work is supported by: 1. “Franco e Piera Cutino” onlus Foundation, Palermo (Italy); 2.
