Specialized genetic testing to detect hemoglobin mutations causing sickle cell anemia, providing vital information for definitive diagnosis and prevention of hereditary complications within affected families.
Scientific name: Sickle Cell Anemia Mutation Test (HBB) C.19G>A
The sickle cell anemia mutation test (HBB gene, c.19G>A) is a molecular genetic test designed to detect a common point mutation responsible for the production of hemoglobin S (HbS). This mutation (adenine substitution of guanine at position 19 of exon 1 of the beta-globin gene) results in the substitution of glutamic acid for valine at position 6 o...
