Prenatal Alpha Thalassemia Mutation Screening – DNA Labs India
What is Prenatal Alpha Thalassemia Mutation Screening?
Prenatal Alpha Thalassemia Mutation Screening is a genetic test that helps to identify whether a fetus has inherited alpha thalassemia from the parents. Alpha thalassemia is a genetic disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen to the body’s tissues and organs. Alpha thalassemia can cause anemia, fatigue, and other health problems.
3 Common Mutations
There are three common mutations that can cause alpha thalassemia:
- Deletion of one alpha globin gene
- Deletion of two alpha globin genes
- Deletion of three alpha globin genes

Symptoms of Alpha Thalassemia
The symptoms of alpha thalassemia can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some people may have no symptoms at all, while others may experience:
- Anemia

- Weakness
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Growth problems
- Bone deformities
- Enlarged spleen

Diagnosis of Alpha Thalassemia
Alpha thalassemia can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. If a person has alpha thalassemia, their hemoglobin levels will be lower than normal. In some cases, genetic testing may also be used to confirm a diagnosis.
