HBS MUTATION DETECTION FOR SICKLE CELL ANEMIA

Description

Sickle cell anemia is diagnosed through a combination of clinical, hematological, and genetic tests. These tests identify the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, specifically hemoglobin S (HbS), which is the hallmark of sickle cell disease. Popular methods include hemoglobin electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and genetic testing to detect the specific mutation in the HBB gene.
