Perspectives in Genetics and Sickle Cell Disease Prevention in Africa: Beyond the Preliminary Data from Cameroon.

Public health genomics - 1 Jan 2015

Wonkam Ambroise, Ngo Bitoungui Valentina Josiane, Ngogang Jeanne

Abstract excerpt

Management of sickle cell disease (SCD) in Africa needs to be accompanied by various preventive strategies, including early detection via prenatal genetic diagnosis (PND). Contrary to Cameroonian doctors who considered termination of an affected pregnancy (TAP) for SCD in 36.1%, the majority of p...
