Polymerase chain reaction facilitates archival autopsy studies of sickle cell disease.

Abstract excerpt

Archival autopsy studies of sickle cell disease have often been hampered by inadequate documentation of the genotype. Although the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been applied to the prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell disease, its use has not been reported in archival studies of sickle cell disease.
