LaboratoryHBG1 and HBG2 genes full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
Full gene sequence analysis of the gamma globin genes, HBG1 and HBG2, is performed to assess for variants causing conditions such as neonatal hemolytic anemia, cyanosis, methemoglobinemia, and nondeletional hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH). Testing is useful to characterize abnormal hemoglobins identified by electrophoresis and suspected to be due to gamma chain variants. This code is used for the test order and to represent the overall report, which may include the variant(s) found, testing method, interpretation, recommendations and references.
