HBB Deletion/Duplication Analysis

Laboratory
Labcorp
Test code

Specimen
Blood
Fasting
Not stated
Turnaround
19 - 28 days

Laboratory assay overview

HBB deletion/duplication analysis is intended for individuals who have a clinical diagnosis of β-thalassemia and have either one or no pathogenic variants detected by HBB full gene sequencing. This test may also be used for carrier screening in individuals at increased risk of being an HBB carrier but have tested negative by HBB full gene sequencing. If testing is needed for a known familial large deletion or duplication, please submit a copy of the laboratory report documenting the familial variant in the index family member.

Laboratory assay overview

OmniSeq® INSIGHT is a next generation sequencing-based in vitro diagnostic device for the detection of genomic variants, signatures, and immune gene expression in formulin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue. DNA is sequenced to detect small variants; single and multi-nucleotide substitutions, insertions, deletions and indels, and copy number alterations (CNA) gains and losses in 523 genes, including 14 genes leading to homologous recombination repair defects (HRR/HRD), as well as analysis of microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB) signatures. RNA is also sequenced for detection of fusions and splice site variants in 55 genes in addition to mRNA expression in 64 immune genes. The resultant information, along with PD-L1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), is intended for use by qualified health care professionals in accordance with practice guidelines and standards in oncology for patients with solid neoplasms.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
