title: [Beta-thalassemia and pregnancy. Apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Homozygous beta-thalassemia is a severe, transfusion dependent anaemia that also causes infertility. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is possible. Very few pregnancies are reported among such patients. They have a very high obstetrical risk and a pluridisciplinary follow is necessary.
