  • Title: Decreased birth weight and femur length in fetuses of patients with the sickle-cell trait.
    Author: Roopnarinesingh S, Ramsewak S.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1986 Jul; 68(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 3523329.
    Abstract:
    The mean birth weight in women with the sickle-cell trait (Hb-AS) was less than in a matched population (Hb-AA), and the difference was statistically significant. Ultrasonic fetal biparietal diameter measurements in 30 patients with Hb-AS fell within normal limits, but mean femur lengths were found to be reduced at each gestational period when compared with similar measurements in patients with normal hemoglobin.
