Comment# 1
In South Africa, the identification of carriers of haemophilia has largely been unsuccessful. This could perhaps be attributed to the use of an indirect method of carrier tracing, i.e. the issuing of letters to probands to pass on to their female relatives.Undoubtedly, identification of carrier status has important implications in terms of determining who in the family may be affected, timely antenatal diagnosis, and improved provision of informed obstetric care to those male foetuses at risk of haemophilia 1. Therefore, no effort should be spared in tracing and testing at-risk relatives of people with haemophilia (PWH) to manage the potential sequelae. The objective of this study was to review the available literature on carrier tracing in an attempt to ascertain the most appropriate and effective method for identification of haemophilia carriers in the South African context.
