Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the GATA1 gene test for?
The GATA1 NGS detects mutations causing X-linked thrombocytopenia with beta-thalassemia, affecting platelet function and haemoglobin production.
2. How is the sample collected?
A DHA-licensed phlebotomist collects a peripheral whole blood sample via standard venipuncture or FTA card spot at your home, ensuring cold-chain integrity.
3. How long do results take?
Results are available in 3-4 weeks and include a genetic counseling session to explain implications and family risk.
