Pre Test Information: Beta Thalassemia-HBB deletion/duplication analysis can be done with a Doctor’s prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
Test Details:
Beta thalassemia is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced or absent production of the beta-globin chains of hemoglobin. This can lead to anemia and other complications. HBB deletion/duplication analysis is a specific genetic test that looks for deletions or duplications in the HBB gene, which is responsible for encoding the beta-globin chains.
These types of mutations can disrupt the normal production of beta-globin chains and cause beta thalassemia. The analysis involves examining the DNA of an individual to determine if there are any deletions or duplications in the HBB gene. This can be done through various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
The results of the analysis can help diagnose beta thalassemia and determine the specific type and severity of the condition. This information is important for guiding treatment decisions and providing appropriate genetic counseling.
