  • Title: The placenta: a diagnostic tool in sickle cell disorders.
    Author: Bloomfield RD, Suarez JR, Malangit AC.
    Journal: J Natl Med Assoc; 1978 Feb; 70(2):87-8. PubMed ID: 702553.
    Abstract:
    Examination of the placenta for the presence of sickling is an accurate, simple, inexpensive, and readily available technique for determining the presence of sickle cell disorders. There were 24 placental specimens out of 904 which showed evidence of sickling. The importance of this confirming procedure can be seen in the uncovering of two cases of false negative reports from conventional testing.
