Beta Thalassemia Genetic Testing: Your Path to Family Health Confidence
If you’re concerned about inherited blood disorders or planning to start a family, the Beta Thalassemia HBB Deletion/Duplication Analysis offers the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. This advanced genetic test provides definitive answers about your risk for Beta Thalassemia, helping you make informed decisions about your health and family planning journey.
Understanding Your Beta Thalassemia Test
Beta Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects your body’s ability to produce haemoglobin properly. Our HBB Deletion/Duplication Analysis specifically examines the HBB gene for missing or duplicated sections that can cause this condition. Using advanced MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) technology, we provide highly accurate results that detect even subtle genetic changes.
This isn’t just a routine blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that looks deep into your DNA to identify the specific mutations responsible for Beta Thalassemia. The test can be performed using amniotic fluid, chorionic villi, cord blood, or peripheral blood samples, making it suitable for various life stages and situations.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
- Couples planning pregnancy – especially if there’s family history of blood disorders
- Individuals with unexplained anaemia that doesn’t respond to iron treatment
- People with family members diagnosed with Thalassemia or related blood conditions
- Pregnant women seeking comprehensive prenatal screening
- Individuals from ethnic backgrounds with higher Thalassemia prevalence
- Those experiencing fatigue, weakness, or pale skin without clear cause
If you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere across South Africa, this test provides the same reliable results nationwide.
