What does this test Haptoglobin Genotyping Test identify?

The Haptoglobin Genotyping Test identifies different alleles of the haptoglobin gene, specifically the HP1 and HP2 alleles. These alleles determine the type of haptoglobin protein a person produces. The test is used to determine a person's risk for certain conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and inflammation.

Why is this test Haptoglobin Genotyping Test taken?

Why is the Haptoglobin Genotyping Test taken?

The Haptoglobin Genotyping Test is taken to determine an individual's haptoglobin genotype. Haptoglobin is a protein in the blood that binds to free hemoglobin, which is released when red blood cells are broken down. There are different haptoglobin genotypes, including Hp1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2.

Knowing a person's haptoglobin genotype can provide important information about their risk for certain conditions. For example, individuals with the Hp2-2 genotype are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, while those with the Hp1-1 genotype may have a lower risk.

This test can also be used to help guide treatment decisions. For example, individuals with the Hp2-2 genotype may benefit from more aggressive management of cardiovascular risk factors.
