Objective: To compare red blood cell indices among normal, beta-thalassemia trait or hemoglobin (Hb) E trait, and beta-thalassemia/Hb E diseases mid-gestational fetuses. Methods: One hundred seventy-five fetuses at risk of beta-thalassemia/Hb E disease undergoing cordocentesis with determination of...
