To develop a single-tube multi-marker assay for improved preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of deletional and/or non-deletional Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome, providing haplotype confirmation of deletional status, and maximization of linkage informativity. We performed in silico mining to identify novel
