We have performed 31 exclusion tests (43 per cent) and 41 direct tests (57 per cent) in 43 couples at risk, in the period 1987 to 1997 in Leiden, The Netherlands. This resulted in termination of 28 pregnancies (39 per cent), with an increased risk. In 28 couples (65 per cent), the woman was at risk.
