Role of molecular biology in obstetrics--modern single gene disorders diagnosis techniques.
Single gene mutations may lead to an inherited disorder with Mendelian inheritance patterns, of which over 8,000 disorders have been catalogued. The strategy of population screening, offering genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and termination of affected pregnancy has been successfully applied w...
