Beta Thalassemia-HBB Full Gene Analysis Single Test at DNA Labs UAE is a comprehensive genetic screening designed to identify mutations in the HBB gene, which is responsible for beta-thalassemia, a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. Mutations in the HBB gene can lead to various forms of beta-thalassemia, ranging from mild to severe, affecting an individual’s quality of life and requiring different management strategies.

This test is particularly valuable for individuals with a family history of beta-thalassemia or those belonging to ethnic groups with a high prevalence of the disease. It’s also crucial for couples considering starting a family, as it can help assess the risk of passing the condition to their offspring.

Performed at the state-of-the-art DNA Labs UAE, the test involves a simple blood draw. The laboratory utilizes advanced genetic sequencing techniques to thoroughly analyze the HBB gene for any mutations that could lead to beta-thalassemia. The cost of the test is set at 1500 AED, making it an accessible option for those seeking comprehensive insights into their genetic health regarding beta-thalassemia.

Results from this test can provide crucial information for diagnosis, informing treatment plans, and making informed decisions about family planning. It is a valuable tool in the proactive management of beta-thalassemia, offering individuals and families peace of mind and the opportunity to plan for the future with greater certainty.
