Take Control of Your Family’s Genetic Health Journey
When planning for your family’s future, understanding your genetic health becomes one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Beta Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that can be passed to children, and knowing your carrier status provides the clarity and confidence you need to move forward with your family planning journey. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the emotional weight of these decisions and provide the accurate, compassionate testing you deserve.
Understanding Your Beta Thalassemia Gene Analysis
Our Beta Thalassemia HBB Full Gene Analysis is a comprehensive genetic test that examines the HBB gene responsible for producing beta-globin, a crucial component of haemoglobin. Using advanced Sanger Sequencing technology, we meticulously analyse your entire HBB gene to identify any mutations that could indicate Beta Thalassemia carrier status. This isn’t just a test – it’s a window into your genetic health that empowers you with knowledge for informed family planning decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you identify with any of these situations:
- Couples planning to start a family, especially if there’s a family history of anaemia or blood disorders
- Individuals with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, African, or Southeast Asian ancestry where Beta Thalassemia is more common
- People experiencing unexplained fatigue, weakness, or pale skin that might suggest anaemia
- Those with abnormal blood test results showing low haemoglobin levels
- Couples where one partner is already known to carry the Beta Thalassemia gene
- Individuals concerned about passing genetic conditions to their children
