Comprehensive Beta Globinopathy (HBB Gene Mutation and Deletion) – TRIO with MCC is an advanced genetic test that analyzes the HBB (Beta-Globin) gene in the affected individual and both biological parents (Trio analysis). The test detects disease-causing mutations and deletions associated with Beta-Thalassemia and other Hemoglobinopathies, while MCC (Maternal Cell Contamination) ensures the accuracy of prenatal samples.
Test Highlights
Detects HBB gene mutations and deletions
Trio analysis (Patient + Mother + Father)
