Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To design and evaluate a noninvasive protocol for prenatal diagnosis (PND) of β-thalassemia, using cell free fetal DNA (cff-DNA) in maternal circulation. Traditional current PND which is mainly based on chorionic villous sampling (CVS), amplification refractory mutation system and sequencing holds as gold standard. METHODS: Ten thalassemia trait couples with distinct mutations for the husband and wife...
