A case of beta-thalassemia major diagnosed by fetal DNA analysis on a chorion biopsy during the 11th, week of gestation is described. A 30 year-old Gravida 2, Parite 1 patient whose firstborn died of beta thalassemia major (Cd8/A) when 2 years old, was admitted to our clinic on her 10th week of pregnancy. Chorionic villus sampling was performed and resulted as beta thalassemia major (Cd8/Cd8). © 2012 OMU.
