Understanding Your Genetic Health: HBD Gene Thalassemia Testing
We know how concerning it can be when you suspect a genetic condition might affect your family’s health. If you’ve been worrying about thalassemia or experiencing unexplained fatigue and anaemia symptoms, you’re not alone. Our HBD Gene Thalassemia Delta NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, using the most advanced genetic technology available in South Africa.
What This Test Detects
The HBD gene plays a crucial role in producing haemoglobin, the protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to delta thalassemia – a condition that affects haemoglobin production and may cause anaemia and other health concerns.
Our test specifically examines the HBD gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, which provides the most comprehensive analysis available. This means we can detect even the smallest genetic variations that might be missed by older testing methods.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you:
- Have a family history of thalassemia or blood disorders
- Experience persistent fatigue, weakness, or pale skin
- Are planning to start a family and want genetic screening
- Have been diagnosed with anaemia without clear cause
- Come from regions where thalassemia is more common
- Want peace of mind about your genetic health status
Early detection through genetic testing can provide valuable information for managing your health and making informed family planning decisions.
