Price: 1200.0 AED
Sample Condition: Amniotic fluid / Chorionic villi / Cord blood
Report Delivery: 3-4 days
Method: End Point PCR

Doctor: General Physician
Test Department: Pre Test Information
Pre Test Information: HbE (Hemoglobin E) Mutation Screening Prenatal Test 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: HbE (Hemoglobin E) mutation screening is a prenatal genetic test that detects the presence of the Hemoglobin E mutation in the fetus. Hemoglobin E is a genetic variant of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the red blood cells. The HbE mutation is common in certain populations, particularly in Southeast Asia. It can cause a condition called hemoglobin E trait, where individuals have one normal hemoglobin gene and one mutated hemoglobin E gene. In most cases, people with hemoglobin E trait have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. However, in rare cases, individuals with hemoglobin E trait can develop a more severe condition called hemoglobin E disease. This can lead to anemia, enlarged spleen, and other complications. Therefore, it is important to identify the presence of the HbE mutation early on, especially during pregnancy, to provide appropriate medical care if necessary.
The HbE mutation screening test is typically performed using a blood sample from the mother. The sample is analyzed to determine if the fetus has inherited the HbE mutation from the mother or the father. If the fetus is found to have the HbE mutation, further testing and counseling may be recommended to assess the risk of developing hemoglobin E disease.
Overall, HbE mutation screening is a valuable prenatal test that helps identify the presence of the HbE mutation in the fetus and allows for appropriate medical management and counseling if necessary.
