The HbE Hemoglobin E Mutation Screening Prenatal Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure offered by DNA Labs UAE, aimed at identifying the presence of the Hemoglobin E (HbE) mutation in unborn babies. This mutation leads to a variant form of hemoglobin, which can result in various health issues ranging from mild anemia to severe beta-thalassemia when combined with other hemoglobin mutations. The test is particularly crucial for expectant parents with a family history of hemoglobin disorders or those belonging to regions where these mutations are prevalent.

Conducted through a sample of amniotic fluid or chorionic villi obtained via amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS), this prenatal screening plays a vital role in early detection, allowing for better preparedness and management of potential health conditions associated with the HbE mutation. Priced at 1200 AED, the test is a valuable investment for parents looking to ensure the well-being of their child, offering peace of mind and the possibility to consult with healthcare professionals for further steps and considerations based on the screening outcome.

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.
