Protect Your Family’s Future with Beta Thalassemia Screening
As you plan your future together, understanding your genetic health becomes more than just a medical consideration – it’s an act of love and responsibility. Many couples in South Africa carry the Beta Thalassemia gene without knowing it, and this simple screening can provide the peace of mind you deserve for starting your family with confidence.
Understanding Beta Thalassemia Screening
Beta Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects haemoglobin production, and when both partners carry the gene, there’s a significant risk of having children with serious health conditions. Our comprehensive screening tests for the 9 most common mutations found in South African populations, using advanced End Point PCR technology that delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability.
This couple-focused screening is specifically designed to give you both the complete picture of your genetic compatibility, empowering you with knowledge before you start your family journey.
Who Should Consider This Screening?
This test is particularly important for:
- Couples planning to start a family within the next 1-2 years
- Partners with family history of anaemia or blood disorders
- Individuals of Mediterranean, African, or Asian descent
- Couples who want complete peace of mind before pregnancy
- Those experiencing unexplained fatigue or anaemia symptoms
Even without symptoms, many healthy individuals carry the Beta Thalassemia gene, making screening essential for all couples considering children.
Why This Screening Matters for Your Family’s Health
Early detection provides invaluable benefits that extend far beyond medical results:
- Informed Family Planning: Make confident decisions about your reproductive future
