Understanding Your Genetic Health: The Beta-Globin Quantitative Test
When you’re concerned about inherited blood conditions or planning for your family’s future, genetic testing can feel overwhelming. At Oracle Genomics, we understand these concerns and provide compassionate, accurate testing to give you the clarity you deserve. Our Beta-Globin Quantitative Test is specifically designed to detect genetic variations that could affect your health and your family’s wellbeing.
What Does This Test Detect?
The Beta-Globin Quantitative Test examines the genes responsible for producing haemoglobin – the essential protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. Using advanced Real Time PCR technology, this test accurately measures the quantity of beta-globin genes, helping identify conditions like:
- Beta-thalassemia carrier status
- Sickle cell trait detection
- Other haemoglobin-related genetic variations
This non-invasive test requires only a small blood sample, making it comfortable and straightforward for patients of all ages.
