G6PD Gene Hemolytic Anemia Due to G6PD Deficiency Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the G6PD Gene Hemolytic Anemia due to G6PD deficiency genetic test. This test helps in diagnosing and understanding the condition caused by a deficiency in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme.
Test Details
G6PD gene hemolytic anemia is a condition caused by a deficiency in the G6PD enzyme, which is responsible for protecting red blood cells from oxidative damage. When there is a deficiency in G6PD, red blood cells become more susceptible to damage, leading to their destruction and the development of hemolytic anemia.
Our G6PD deficiency genetic test utilizes NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology to identify any mutations or variations in the G6PD gene. This test involves sequencing the entire G6PD gene to provide comprehensive results.

Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the G6PD deficiency genetic test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by G6PD Gene Hemolytic Anemia due to G6PD deficiency NGS Genetic DNA Test gene G6PD.
Diagnosis and Benefits
NGS genetic testing for G6PD deficiency is used to confirm a diagnosis in individuals suspected of having the condition. It can also be utilized for carrier testing in individuals with a family history of G6PD deficiency, as the condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner.
By identifying specific mutations or variations in the G6PD gene, this test helps determine the severity of the deficiency and guides treatment decisions. It is also valuable in genetic counseling and family planning, providing information on the risk of passing the condition on to future generations.
It is important to note that NGS testing for G6PD deficiency should be performed in specialized genetic testing laboratories and ordered and interpreted by healthcare professionals with expertise in genetics.
