The Sickle Cell DNA PCR Prenatal Test is a highly sensitive genetic test used to detect mutations in the HBB gene responsible for sickle cell disease in an unborn baby. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology amplifies small segments of fetal DNA, obtained through procedures like chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, to accurately identify whether the fetus has inherited one or two copies of the abnormal hemoglobin S gene.
This test is crucial for early diagnosis, especially when both parents are known carriers of sickle cell trait or have sickle cell disease. Early detection helps parents and healthcare providers prepare for any medical needs after birth and explore management options.
