Prenatal Diagnosis of Hemoglobinopathies
Clinics in Perinatology, 1979Abstract We attempted prenatal diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies in 15 cases — 11 for β-thalassemia and four for sickle-cell disease. Fetoscopy was used in seven cases, and placental aspiration in eight. One premature labor, with fetal loss, followed placental aspiration.

Prenatal diagnosis of haemophilia
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1998Haemophilia A is a severe bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII (FVIII). It is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder affecting one in 10,000 males. Prevalence of the haemophilia gene in the general population has increased recently due to advances in treatment, which has resulted in reproductive fitness among heamophiliacs.

European Journal of Human Genetics, 1997
Prenatal diagnosis (PND) in Denmark is covered by 5 genetic departments. More than 10% of all pregnancies are monitored by amniocentesis (AC) or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Prenatal cytogenetic analyses are recorded in the Danish Central Cytogenetic Register (DCCR), which provides information on individual cases for genetic counselling and allows ...

Prenatal diagnosis by ultrasound
The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 1989Prenatal diagnosis is defined as the determination of the nature of a disease in the fetus. Although only 3% to 5% of infants are born with a birth defect, prenatal diagnosis is an expanding field in health care practice. Prenatal diagnosis involves the disciplines of obstetric ultrasound, laboratory study for chromosome analysis/biochemical evaluation,

Prenatal diagnosis of craniopagus
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1991The long‐term prognosis of craniopagus, a congenital abnormality of monozygotic twinning, is strictly correlated to the type of shared cerebral structures. Hence, the purpose of prenatal diagnosis is not only to detect this malformation, but also to identify the fused cerebral structures.
