Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathy Comprehensive Evaluation
Use
Comprehensive evaluation for suspected hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias, offering initial and confirmatory diagnosis through multiple testing modalities in a reflexive cascade; optimal for initial diagnostic evaluation rather than follow-up of known diagnoses.
Special Instructions
This is a reflexive profile; additional testing (e.g., molecular tests such as alpha‑globin gene sequencing or deletion/duplication assays) will be added at additional charge if indicated. Physician attestation of informed consent required in specified states for germline genetic testing.
Limitations
Not intended for follow‑up of individuals with a known diagnosis. Reflexive additional molecular testing incurs separate charges and may require consent in certain jurisdictions.
