HbE Hemoglobin E Mutation Screening Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HbE Hemoglobin E mutation screening test for individuals who suspect they may have the HbE mutation. This genetic test is used to detect the presence of a specific mutation in the HBB gene, which can lead to a variety of health problems.
Test Details
The HbE Hemoglobin E mutation screening test is performed using a blood sample. The sample is collected using an EDTA Vacutainer (2ml) and should be in good condition. The test is priced at 1050.0 AED and the report is delivered within 3-4 days.
Method and Test Type
The HbE Hemoglobin E mutation screening test is conducted using the End Point PCR method. This test falls under the Genetics category and can be ordered by a General Physician.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Hemoglobin E disease, caused by the HbE mutation, is characterized by mild to moderate anemia, fatigue, pale skin, and jaundice. In some cases, individuals with the HbE mutation may also experience complications such as an enlarged spleen, gallstones, and skeletal abnormalities. Early detection of the HbE mutation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical management.
Pre-Test Information
A Doctor’s prescription is required for the HbE Hemoglobin E mutation screening test. However, it is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
Importance of HbE Mutation Screening
Screening for the HbE mutation is particularly important in certain populations, such as individuals of Southeast Asian descent, as the HbE mutation is more common in these groups. Early detection of the HbE mutation can help guide appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.
At DNA Labs UAE, we provide accurate and reliable HbE Hemoglobin E mutation screening tests to assist in the diagnosis and management of individuals with hemoglobin E disease. If you suspect you may have the HbE mutation, consult with a General Physician and get the necessary prescription for this important genetic test.

| Test Details | HbE (Hemoglobin E) mutation screening is a genetic test that is used to detect the presence of a specific mutation in the HBB gene. This mutation results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin E, which can lead to a variety of health problems. Hemoglobin E is a type of hemoglobin that carries oxygen in the red blood cells. When the HBB gene is mutated, it can cause the production of an abnormal form of hemoglobin E, which can lead to a condition called hemoglobin E disease. Hemoglobin E disease is characterized by mild to moderate anemia, as well as other symptoms such as fatigue, pale skin, and jaundice. In some cases, individuals with the HbE mutation may also experience complications such as enlarged spleen, gallstones, and skeletal abnormalities. HbE mutation screening is typically performed using a blood sample. The sample is analyzed in a laboratory to determine if the HbE mutation is present. This information can be useful in diagnosing and managing individuals with hemoglobin E disease. Screening for the HbE mutation is particularly important in certain populations, such as individuals of Southeast Asian descent, as the HbE mutation is more common in these groups. Early detection of the HbE mutation can help guide appropriate medical management and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families. |
