Prenatal Delta Beta Thalassaemia Mutation Screening
Prenatal Delta Beta Thalassaemia Mutation Screening is an essential diagnostic test designed for expectant mothers. This screening aims to identify genetic mutations associated with beta-thalassaemia, a blood disorder that can have significant implications for the health of the fetus. Early detection of these mutations allows for informed decision-making and appropriate medical care throughout the pregnancy.
What the Test Measures/Detects
This test specifically measures the presence of mutations in the Delta and Beta globin genes. These mutations can lead to thalassaemia, which is characterized by reduced production of hemoglobin and can cause severe anemia in affected individuals. By screening for these mutations, healthcare providers can assess the risk of the baby inheriting this condition.

Expectant mothers who are at risk of carrying genetic mutations should consider Prenatal Delta Beta Thalassaemia Mutation Screening. Risk factors include:
- Family history of thalassaemia or other hemoglobin disorders.
- Ethnic background, as certain populations are more prone to thalassaemia.
- Previous pregnancies affected by genetic disorders.
If you experience any symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, or pale skin, it is advisable to consult your healthcare provider regarding this test.
