Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations screening Single Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations screening Single Test. This test helps in diagnosing beta thalassemia and determining the specific type and severity of the condition. It is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced or absent production of beta-globin chains, leading to abnormal hemoglobin synthesis.
Test Details
The Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations screening Single Test can be done with a doctor’s prescription. However, please note that the prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad. The test requires a 2ml EDTA Vacutainer of peripheral blood.
The cost of the Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations screening Single Test is 1050.0 AED. The test is performed using the End Point PCR method in our Genetics Test Department. The report will be delivered within 3-4 days.
Common Mutations
There are nine common mutations that are typically screened for in individuals suspected of having beta thalassemia:
- IVS-I-110 (G>A)
- IVS-I-1 (G>A)
- Codon 8/9 (+G)
- Codon 39 (C>T)
- Codon 41/42 (-TCTT)
- Codon 17 (A>T)
- Codon 71/72 (+A)
- Codon 26 (G>A)
- Codon 27/28 (+C)
These mutations can be detected through various molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or DNA sequencing. Screening for these mutations helps in diagnosing beta thalassemia and determining the specific type and severity of the condition. It also aids in genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for families at risk of having children with beta thalassemia.
Conclusion
If you suspect that you or someone you know may have beta thalassemia, consider getting the Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations screening Single Test at DNA Labs UAE. This test can provide valuable information about the condition, allowing for proper diagnosis and management. Don’t wait, get tested today!

Beta thalassemia is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced or absent production of beta-globin chains, leading to abnormal hemoglobin synthesis. There are several mutations in the beta-globin gene that can cause beta thalassemia. Here are 9 common mutations that are typically screened for in individuals suspected of having beta thalassemia: 1. IVS-I-110 (G>A) 2. IVS-I-1 (G>A) 3. Codon 8/9 (+G) 4. Codon 39 (C>T) 5. Codon 41/42 (-TCTT) 6. Codon 17 (A>T) 7. Codon 71/72 (+A) 8. Codon 26 (G>A) 9. Codon 27/28 (+C) These mutations can be detected through various molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or DNA sequencing. Screening for these mutations helps in diagnosing beta thalassemia and determining the specific type and severity of the condition. It also aids in genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for families at risk of having children with beta thalassemia. |
