Core Tip	All women in most modern countries are offered screening for rhesus antagonism and infectious diseases early in pregnancy. Hemoglobinopathy (HBP) screening done together with rhesus screening using an inexpensive routine high performance liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis analysis could identify all women carriers of the frequent traits associated with the severe forms of HBP. Subsequent partner analysis could identify all couples at risk to be confirmed by molecular analysis in time for prenatal diagnosis when requested. This procedure will allow the prevention task to be offered at the most logical moment and by the most specialized hands of the gynecologists and obstetricians in collaboration with the local labs and the genetic counselors.
