Doctor: Gynecologist
Test Department: Pre Test Information
Beta Thalassemia-HBB Full Gene Analysis (Couple) 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 beta-globin chains, leading to a decrease in the production of hemoglobin. This disorder is caused by mutations in the HBB gene.
A full gene analysis of the HBB gene in a couple would involve sequencing the entire coding region and intron-exon boundaries of the gene. This analysis would identify any mutations or variations in the HBB gene that may be associated with beta thalassemia.
The analysis would typically involve obtaining a blood sample from each individual in the couple. The DNA would then be extracted from the blood cells and subjected to sequencing techniques to determine the nucleotide sequence of the HBB gene.
The results of the analysis would be compared to a reference sequence to identify any mutations or variations. If any disease-causing mutations are found in one or both individuals, they would be considered carriers of beta thalassemia. If both individuals are carriers, there is a risk of having a child with beta thalassemia.
Genetic counseling would be recommended to discuss the implications of the results and the options available for family planning, such as prenatal testing or assisted reproductive technologies.
