Methodology
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing)
NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing), also known as massively parallel sequencing, is a state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic technology. For Beta Thalassemia Mutation Analysis, NGS is employed to comprehensively sequence the entire HBB gene (and sometimes adjacent regulatory regions) responsible for beta-thalassemia. Unlike traditional sequencing methods that analyze one DNA fragment at a time, NGS can simultaneously sequence millions of DNA fragments, enabling the detection of a vast array of known and novel point mutations, small insertions, and deletions across the entire gene. This provides a highly accurate, comprehensive, and sensitive approach to identifying the specific genetic defects causing beta-thalassemia, which is crucial for diagnosis, carrier screening, and genetic counseling.
Sample Required
Whole Blood (WB) in EDTA Vacutainer
(A sample of whole blood collected in an EDTA vacutainer is required for this test. EDTA acts as an anticoagulant to preserve the blood sample for DNA extraction.)
