Beta Thalassemia HBB Full Gene Analysis Couple
Introduction
The Beta Thalassemia HBB Full Gene Analysis Couple is a comprehensive genetic test that plays a crucial role in understanding the genetic compatibility of couples planning to have children. This test is essential for identifying mutations in the HBB gene, which can lead to Beta Thalassemia, a blood disorder that affects hemoglobin production. By undergoing this test, couples can gain valuable insights into their genetic health and make informed decisions regarding family planning.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures mutations in the HBB gene, which encodes the beta-globin subunit of hemoglobin. It detects various genetic alterations that may predispose individuals to Beta Thalassemia, enabling healthcare providers to assess the risk of passing this condition onto their offspring.
