Genetics and DNA technology.
Recent advances in molecular biology have both expanded and enhanced our ability to prenatally diagnose genetic diseases. The new techniques involved will be discussed, as will their applicability to different diagnostic methods and to gene replacement therapy (a novel approach to the correction of genetic defects).
