Beta Thalassemia

Beta Thalassemia
Sequencing of the HBB gene

Genes: HBB

Lab method: Sanger sequencing/NGS

TAT: 2-4 weeks

Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

300 ng DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.
