About test
What does Beta-Thalassemia Sequencing (2 Parents) - (Outlab) measure?
This genetic test analyzes the beta-globin (HBB) gene in both parents to identify sequence changes associated with beta-thalassemia carrier status or related hemoglobin disorders. It may be used when there is a family history of thalassemia, abnormal blood screening results, or for reproductive and prenatal risk assessment. Testing both parents can help a healthcare professional evaluate the chance of an affected pregnancy and guide further genetic counselling or testing.
