Prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia: the viewpoint of patients.

abstract：:A case of 46,XX/47,XXY mosaicism was diagnosed at 22 gestational weeks by amniocentesis and fetal blood sampling. After genetic counselling, the couple elected to have the pregnancy terminated. Culture of the fetal skin and both gonads confirmed the prenatal diagnosis. In external appearance, the abortus had no remark...
