Abstract
We describe our experience at University College Hospital, London, with the first 135 patients submitted to midtrimester fetal blood sampling for antenatal diagnosis of beta-thalassaemia major, other thalassaemias and homozygous sickle cell disease. Blind needling and fetoscopy with sampling are evaluated and their application discussed. With experienced operators 9 per cent of patients experienced a fetal loss.Entities:
