Beta Thalassemia – HBB Gene Sequencing

Beta Thalassemia HBB Gene Sequencing is an advanced molecular diagnostic test used to detect mutations in the HBB (Hemoglobin Beta) gene, which is responsible for the production of beta-globin chains in hemoglobin.

This test helps in:

• Confirming Beta Thalassemia
• Identifying carriers (trait/minor)
• Detecting rare or complex HBB mutations
• Prenatal & family genetic screening
• Supporting treatment and genetic counseling decisions

Why is this test important?

Beta Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that can cause:

• Severe anemia
• Fatigue & weakness
• Delayed growth
• Bone deformities
• Frequent blood transfusion requirements

Early genetic detection helps families make informed healthcare decisions and enables timely medical management.

Recommended For:

• Individuals with abnormal CBC or Hb electrophoresis
• Couples planning pregnancy
• Family history of thalassemia
• Children with unexplained anemia
• Carrier screening programs

Sample Required:

🧪 Peripheral Blood Sample

Technology Used:

🔬 Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) / Sanger Sequencing
