  • Title: The role of screening in the prevention of inherited disease in South Africa.
    Author: Jenkins T.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1977 Jun 04; 51(23):832-7. PubMed ID: 877816.
    Abstract:
    It is now possible to screen for the presence of the carrier state of a number of inherited diseases. Such screening can alert one to the need for antenatal diagnosis where feasible, it can ensure that early treatment is given to affected infants, and it can assist carriers in reaching a decision about having children. Facilities for certain types of screening already exist in some centres in South Africa, and new techniques will be introduced in the future.
