Beta Thalassemia-HBB Full Gene Analysis (Couple) cost INR:15000 symptoms diagnosis

Beta thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, a protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. It is caused by mutations in the HBB gene, which provides instructions for making beta-globin, a subunit of hemoglobin.

People who inherit two copies of mutated HBB genes from their parents develop beta thalassemia major, a severe form of the disease that requires lifelong blood transfusions and other treatments. People who inherit one mutated HBB gene and one normal HBB gene from their parents develop beta thalassemia trait, a milder form of the disease that usually does not cause symptoms.

Beta thalassemia is most commonly found in people of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent. It can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the amount of hemoglobin and the types of hemoglobin in the blood. A genetic test that analyzes the HBB gene can confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific mutations causing the disease.

Symptoms of beta thalassemia

The symptoms of beta thalassemia vary depending on the severity of the disease. People with beta thalassemia major usually develop symptoms within the first two years of life, while people with beta thalassemia trait may not have any symptoms or may have mild symptoms.

Common symptoms of beta thalassemia major include:

• Severe anemia
• Jaundice
• Enlarged spleen
• Delayed growth and development
• Facial bone deformities
• Heart problems
• Frequent infections

Common symptoms of beta thalassemia trait include:

• Mild anemia
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Shortness of breath

Diagnosis of beta thalassemia

Beta thalassemia can be diagnosed through a blood test that measures the amount of hemoglobin and the types of hemoglobin in the blood. A genetic test that analyzes the HBB gene can confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific mutations causing the disease.
