Abstract excerpt
Prenatal diagnosis of the hemoglobinopathies by fetal DNA analysis is currently performed in most countries, either by DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme polymerase chain reaction (RE-PCR) or the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). These methods are time consuming and prolong the turnaround time for diagnosis. We here describe a method utilizing pyrosequencing for the prenatal diagnosis of 12 common...
