#Hemoglobinopathies & #thalassemias comprise the commonest recessive monogenic disorders worldwide. Optimal carrier screens for couples should include hematological & #DNA testing so that the latter can be evaluated with in the light of the former goo.gl/Ym8ei3

Reproductive health problems and subsequent treatment can be a source of distress such that 20-25% of the women experience minor to severe distress. Reducing distress levels in treated patients can have a positive effect on assisted reproduction. #ART goo.gl/x2D2jK
