Protect Your Baby’s Future with Early Sickle Cell Detection
As expectant parents in South Africa, we understand the mix of joy and concern you feel about your baby’s health. The Sickle Cell Anemia Trio Prenatal Mutation Detection Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve during this special time. For families with known sickle cell risk or those wanting comprehensive genetic screening, this test offers life-changing insights that can shape your child’s healthcare journey from the very beginning.
Understanding Your Prenatal Genetic Test
This specialised test examines the HBB gene in both parents and your developing baby through amniotic fluid analysis. Using advanced PCR and sequencing technology, we detect specific mutations that cause sickle cell anemia – a genetic condition that affects red blood cells and can impact quality of life. The “trio” approach means we analyse all three genetic profiles together, providing the most accurate assessment of your baby’s risk.
Who Should Consider This Important Prenatal Test?
This test is especially important for:
- Couples with family history of sickle cell disease or trait
- Parents from regions with higher sickle cell prevalence
- Families wanting comprehensive prenatal genetic screening
- Those with previous children affected by blood disorders
- Couples planning future pregnancies who want genetic insights
If you’re experiencing anxiety about genetic risks or want the reassurance of knowing your baby’s health status, this test provides the answers you need.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family’s Health
Knowing your baby’s genetic status before birth allows for:
- Early intervention planning with paediatric specialists
