Hemoglobin Genotype (Hb Genotype) Test

The Hemoglobin Genotype (Hb Genotype) test at Pamel Laboratories is a definitive diagnostic test used to identify the specific type of hemoglobin genes a person inherits from their parents. This test determines whether you have normal hemoglobin (AA), sickle cell trait (AS), sickle cell disease (SS), or other variants such as AC or SC.

It is essential for genetic counseling, marriage screening, prenatal care, and the diagnosis or monitoring of sickle cell-related disorders.

Purpose of the Test:

• Determine hemoglobin genotype (e.g., AA, AS, SS, AC, SC)

• Diagnose sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies

• Support marriage and prenatal genetic counseling

• Evaluate unexplained anemia, fatigue, or joint pain

• Monitor individuals with known sickle cell or carrier status

Common Genotype Results:

• AA: Normal hemoglobin

• AS: Sickle cell trait (carrier, usually symptom-free)

• SS: Sickle cell disease (requires medical management)

• AC / SC: Other hemoglobin variants requiring medical guidance

Sample Type: Venous blood

Turnaround Time: 24–48 hours

Test Method: Hemoglobin Electrophoresis or High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
