ABSTRACT
In this paper, we compared the acceptance rate of fetal diagnosis for beta-thalassemia in three group of couples of Sardinian descent; the first counselled before DNA analysis was available, the second presenting after DNA analysis was introduced but too late for chorionic villus sampling and thus monitored by amniocyte DNA analysis and the third presenting within the first trimester after DNA analysis was introduced and thus in time for trophoblast DNA analysis. A higher proportion of couples from the latter group opted for fetal testing as compared to the 1st and 2nd group. These results indicate that in this population, introduction of 1st trimester diagnosis made prenatal testing acceptable to practically all counselled couples at risk.
