What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

Maximum days for obtaining the report for HBB MLPA Test:

The report for the HBB MLPA Test can be obtained within 7-10 business days from the date of sample collection.

What are the prerequisites for the test HBB MLPA Test

  • Sample: 2-5 mL of blood in EDTA tube
  • Requisition form
  • Consent form
  • Complete clinical information
  • Prior genetic testing results, if available

What are the measure values for the test HBB MLPA Test

  1. Ratio of peak height of each probe compared to a reference probe
  2. Number of copies of the HBB gene
  3. Presence of deletions or duplications in the HBB gene
  4. Comparison of results to normal controls

What does this test HBB MLPA Test identify?

  • The HBB MLPA test identifies deletions or duplications in the HBB gene, which encodes the beta-globin protein. These genetic variations can lead to conditions such as beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
  • By analyzing the copy number of the HBB gene, the MLPA test can determine if there are any structural abnormalities in the gene that may affect its function.
  • This test is particularly useful for diagnosing genetic disorders related to hemoglobin production and can help guide treatment and management decisions for patients with these conditions.

Why is this test HBB MLPA Test taken?

Why is the HBB MLPA Test taken?

The HBB MLPA test, also known as the Hemoglobin Beta (HBB) Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification test, is taken to diagnose various genetic disorders related to the HBB gene. This gene is responsible for producing beta-globin, a protein component of hemoglobin which is essential for carrying oxygen in the blood.

The test is primarily taken to diagnose conditions such as:

  • Sickle cell anemia
  • Thalassemia
  • Other hemoglobinopathies

Individuals with a family history of these genetic disorders or those experiencing symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, jaundice, and frequent infections may be recommended to undergo the HBB MLPA test. The test helps in identifying specific mutations or deletions in the HBB gene, which can aid in making an accurate diagnosis and determining appropriate treatment options.
