The “Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations Screening Couple Test” is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to identify the presence of nine common mutations associated with Beta Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder. This test is particularly important for couples who are planning to conceive or are in the early stages of pregnancy and wish to understand their risk of passing this condition onto their children. Beta Thalassemia is characterized by reduced production of hemoglobin, leading to anemia and other serious health issues. Early detection through this screening can enable informed decisions and access to appropriate medical advice and interventions.

Administered by DNA Labs UAE, a leading provider of genetic testing services, the test ensures accuracy, confidentiality, and comprehensive support. The procedure involves collecting a small sample of blood or saliva from each partner, which is then analyzed for specific genetic mutations linked to Beta Thalassemia.

The cost of the Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations Screening Couple Test is set at 1500 AED. This investment covers the full testing process, from sample collection to the delivery of results, along with counseling services to help interpret the findings and understand the implications for the couple’s future family planning decisions. By opting for this test, couples gain valuable insights into their genetic health, empowering them to make informed choices about their reproductive options and the management of potential health risks.

Test Details

Beta thalassemia is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced or absent production of hemoglobin, which can lead to anemia. There are several common mutations associated with beta thalassemia, and screening for these mutations is important, especially for couples planning to have children. The nine common mutations screened for in beta thalassemia are:

  1. IVS1-1 (G>A): This mutation affects the splicing of the beta-globin gene, leading to reduced or absent production of beta-globin.
  2. IVS1-5 (G>C): This mutation also affects splicing and leads to reduced beta-globin production.
  3. IVS1-6 (T>C): Another splicing mutation that results in reduced beta-globin production.
  4. IVS1-110 (G>A): This mutation affects splicing and leads to reduced beta-globin production.
  5. Codon 8 (-AA): This mutation results in the deletion of two amino acids (alanine and alanine) in the beta-globin protein, causing a severe form of beta thalassemia.
  6. Codon 8 (-AA): This mutation leads to the deletion of three amino acids (glycine, alanine, and valine) in the beta-globin protein, causing a severe form of beta thalassemia.
  7. Codon 17 (A>T): This mutation results in the substitution of a threonine amino acid with a serine amino acid in the beta-globin protein, causing a mild form of beta thalassemia.
  8. Codon 26 (G>A): This mutation leads to the substitution of a valine amino acid with an alanine amino acid in the beta-globin protein, causing a mild form of beta thalassemia.
  9. Codon 39 (C>T): This mutation results in the substitution of a glutamine amino acid with a stop codon in the beta-globin protein, causing a severe form of beta thalassemia.

Screening for these common mutations in both partners of a couple can help determine the risk of having a child with beta thalassemia. If both partners carry mutations in the same gene, there is a higher chance of having a child with the disorder. Genetic counseling and prenatal testing options can be discussed with a healthcare provider to make informed decisions about family planning.
