| Precision | 99.9% Sensitivity, Full Gene Coverage | Limited to known hotspots |
| Method | Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) | Sanger Sequencing |
| Speed | 3โ4 Weeks with Genetic Counseling | 4โ6 Weeks |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics, I understand the anxiety that genetic testing can cause; this test provides clarity for families with a history of thalassemia and bleeding disorders, but results must be interpreted within the full clinical context. Please remember that no laboratory test replaces a thorough medical evaluation.โ

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.
