Protect Your Family’s Health with Beta Thalassemia Screening
If you’re concerned about inherited blood disorders or planning to start a family, our Beta Thalassemia screening test provides the peace of mind you deserve. Thalassemia is a serious inherited blood condition that affects many South African families, and early detection can make all the difference in managing your health and making informed family planning decisions.
Understanding Beta Thalassemia Screening
Beta Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects your body’s ability to produce haemoglobin properly. Our screening test specifically looks for 12 of the most common genetic mutations that cause this condition. Using advanced End Point PCR technology, we provide highly accurate results that help you understand your genetic risk factors.
This isn’t just a test – it’s an opportunity to take proactive control of your health and protect future generations from the challenges of undiagnosed genetic conditions.
Who Should Consider This Screening?
- Couples planning pregnancy – Essential for understanding genetic compatibility and risks
- Individuals with family history of thalassemia or anaemia
- People experiencing unexplained fatigue, pale skin, or slow growth
- Those with Mediterranean, African, or Asian ancestry where thalassemia is more common
