THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, where we offer the THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test to help diagnose and understand thalassemia. Thalassemia is a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by abnormal production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Test Details
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test is a genetic test that detects mutations in the beta globin gene. The beta globin gene is responsible for producing the beta subunit of hemoglobin. Mutations in this gene can result in reduced or absent production of beta globin, leading to a decrease in the production of normal hemoglobin and the development of thalassemia.
This test involves analyzing the DNA sequence of the beta globin gene to identify any mutations or variations. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, or other molecular genetic methods may be used. By detecting specific mutations in the beta globin gene, this test can determine the type and severity of thalassemia a person may have.
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test can also be used for carrier screening to identify individuals who carry a mutation in the beta globin gene but do not show symptoms of thalassemia.
Test Components
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test examines more than 100 mutations in the beta globin gene.
Test Cost
The cost of the THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test is AED 1290.0.
Sample Condition
A minimum of 4 mL (2 mL min.) of whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube is required for the test. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and should not be frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Prenatal Genetic testing consent form (Form 18) is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted by Monday at 11am, and the report will be delivered on Friday.
Method
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test utilizes PCR Sequencing as the method for analysis.
Test Type
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test falls under the category of Genetic Disorders.
Doctor
The test is performed by a Hematologist.
Test Department
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department of our laboratory.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Prenatal Genetic testing consent form (Form 18) is mandatory before undergoing the THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test.
The THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test is a valuable tool in diagnosing thalassemia, determining the risk of passing on the condition to offspring, and guiding treatment decisions. If you suspect you or someone you know may have thalassemia, don’t hesitate to contact DNA Labs UAE to schedule your THALASSEMIA BETA MUTATION ANALYSIS Test today!

It can also be used for carrier screening to identify individuals who carry a mutation in the beta globin gene but do not show symptoms of thalassemia. The results of the thalassemia beta mutation analysis test can help in making a diagnosis, determining the risk of passing on the condition to offspring, and guiding treatment decisions for individuals with thalassemia. It is typically performed in specialized genetic testing laboratories and may require a blood or saliva sample for analysis. |
