- Full Gene Sequencing- HBB (1)
- Full Gene Sequencing- HBB
Full Gene Sequencing- HBB is a genetic test offered by Redcliffelab that focuses on the HBB gene. The HBB gene encodes the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin, a protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. Mutations or variations in this gene can lead to various hemoglobinopathies, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia.
Purpose of the Test:
The Full Gene Sequencing- HBB is performed to identify specific genetic variations or mutations in the HBB gene. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing and understanding hemoglobin disorders and their inheritance patterns.
How the Test Works:
During the Full Gene Sequencing- HBB test, a sample of blood is collected from the individual. The DNA in the blood sample is then extracted and subjected to a comprehensive genetic sequencing process. This process involves determining the exact sequence of nucleotides (A, T, C, and G) that make up the HBB gene.
Test Result:
The test results will reveal any genetic variants or mutations present in the HBB gene. Depending on the specific variations identified, the report will provide information about the presence or absence of hemoglobinopathies and their specific subtypes.
Clinical Significance:
The Full Gene Sequencing- HBB test is crucial for diagnosing and understanding hemoglobin disorders. It is particularly relevant for individuals who exhibit symptoms of anemia, abnormal hemoglobin levels, or a family history of hemoglobinopathies. Early identification of these genetic variations allows for appropriate medical management and genetic counseling.
