title: Cystic fibrosis, genetics, and DNA technology.
abstract: Advances in molecular genetics are leading to changes in practice that have a direct impact on the obstetrician and gynecologist. New techniques of prenatal screening, diagnosis, and potentially therapy are rapidly evolving. Recent developments in cystic fibrosis, preimplantation genetics, fragile X syndrome, neurofibromatosis, muscular dystrophy, and Marfan syndrome are discussed.
