Protect Your Newborn from Cyanosis with Advanced Genetic Testing
As a parent, seeing your newborn baby with bluish skin (cyanosis) can be one of the most frightening experiences. That temporary blue discolouration isn’t just concerning – it could indicate an underlying genetic condition affecting your baby’s haemoglobin production. Our HBG2 Gene Cyanosis Transient Neonatal NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind every parent deserves.
Understanding the HBG2 Gene Cyanosis Test
This specialised genetic test examines the HBG2 gene, which plays a crucial role in producing gamma-globin chains in fetal haemoglobin. When mutations occur in this gene, it can cause transient neonatal cyanosis – temporary blue skin discolouration in newborns that typically resolves but may indicate underlying health concerns.
Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your baby’s DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any HBG2 gene mutations. This isn’t just a test; it’s your first step toward understanding and managing your newborn’s health condition.
Is This Test Right for Your Baby?
Consider this test if your newborn shows:
- Bluish skin discolouration (cyanosis) that appears temporary
- Unexplained breathing difficulties in the first weeks of life
- Family history of haemoglobin disorders or genetic conditions
- Previous siblings with similar transient cyanosis episodes
- Concerns about inherited genetic conditions affecting blood oxygen
Early detection through genetic testing can prevent unnecessary worry and ensure proper medical management.
