    The fetal karyotype was determined in 42 out of 45 cases from fetal blood obtained by fetoscopy for prenatal diagnosis of beta-thalassemia. The procedure described is quick and reliable and it is recommended for women over 35 years of age undergoing prenatal diagnosis for haemoglobinopathies.

    Karyotyping

    Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.A Simple Chromosome Staining Technique Provides Valuable Scientific InsightSome genetic diseases can be detected by looking at...
