HBG2 Gene Cyanosis Transient Neonatal NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The HBG2 Gene Cyanosis Transient Neonatal NGS Genetic DNA Test is a specialized genetic test designed to detect mutations in the HBG2 gene that may lead to cyanosis in newborns. This test is particularly important for early identification of potential health issues, allowing for timely interventions and management strategies. Utilizing advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the test provides a comprehensive analysis of the genetic material, ensuring accurate results.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of specific mutations in the HBG2 gene. By analyzing the genetic code, healthcare professionals can identify potential risks for cyanotic conditions in neonates, which is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test
Parents who have a family history of genetic disorders, particularly those affecting hemoglobin production, should consider this test. Symptoms that may indicate the need for testing include:
- Persistent cyanosis in newborns
- Family history of hemoglobinopathies
- Newborns exhibiting signs of anemia
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking the HBG2 Gene Cyanosis Transient Neonatal NGS Genetic DNA Test offers several benefits:
- Early detection of genetic conditions that can lead to cyanosis.
- Informed decision-making for parents regarding their child’s health.
- Access to genetic counseling and support based on test results.
- Potential for preventative measures or treatments to be implemented.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the HBG2 Gene Cyanosis test will provide insights into whether any mutations were detected. A genetic counselor will help interpret these results, discussing the implications for the child’s health and any necessary follow-up actions.
Test Pricing
| Price Type | Price (KSh) |
|---|---|
| Discount Price | 40,000 |
| Regular Price | 56,000 |
Additional Information
Turnaround time for results is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. The test requires a sample type of blood or extracted DNA, or even one drop of blood on an FTA card. It is essential for patients to provide a clinical history and undergo a genetic counseling session to create a pedigree chart of affected family members.
