Beta Thalassemia-9 Common Mutations Screening (Couple) Cost INR: 7500
Beta thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. There are two types of beta thalassemia: beta thalassemia minor and beta thalassemia major.
Beta thalassemia minor is a carrier state where an individual has one copy of the mutated gene and one normal gene. People with beta thalassemia minor usually do not have any symptoms and live a normal life. However, if two carriers have children, there is a 25% chance that their child will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and develop beta thalassemia major.
Beta thalassemia major is a severe form of the disease where an individual has two copies of the mutated gene. People with beta thalassemia major have a significant reduction in the production of hemoglobin, which leads to anemia, fatigue, weakness, and other complications. Beta thalassemia major requires lifelong blood transfusions and chelation therapy to remove excess iron from the body.
Screening for beta thalassemia mutations is essential for couples who are planning to have children. If both partners are carriers of the mutated gene, there is a high risk of having a child with beta thalassemia major. DNA Labs India offers beta thalassemia-9 common mutations screening for couples at a cost of INR 7500.
The screening test analyzes nine common mutations in the beta-globin gene, which is responsible for the production of hemoglobin. The test can detect carriers of beta thalassemia and provide valuable information for family planning.
Symptoms of beta thalassemia major usually appear in the first two years of life and include:
- Severe anemia
- Fatigue and weakness
- Growth retardation
- Enlarged spleen
- Jaundice
Diagnosis of beta thalassemia major involves a blood test to measure the level of hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells. Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific mutations present in the beta-globin gene.
Overall, beta thalassemia-9 common mutations screening is a simple and effective way for couples to determine their risk of having a child with beta thalassemia major. DNA Labs India offers this screening test at an affordable cost of INR 7500, providing peace of mind and valuable information for family planning.

Beta thalassemia is a genetic disorder characterized by reduced or absent production of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Couples who are planning to have children and have a family history of thalassemia or are at risk of being carriers can undergo genetic testing to assess their risk of having a child with beta thalassemia.
