Beta Thalassemia Mutation & Hemoglobinopathy Detection by HBB Gene Sequencing - PNDT
Test Details: Beta-Thalassemia is an inherited single gene disorder caused by mutations in beta globin chains, responsible for haemoglobin production. The samples that are negative for 5 common mutations are then subjected to HBB gene sequencing. The test helps in identifying haemoglobin variants that are not easily diagnosed by electrophoresis/HPLC. The presence of Beta Thalassemia mutations in both the parents is indicative of high risk of Beta Thalassemia major/minor in fetus, necessitating mutation analysis of pre-natal sample.
